<p>The NFT Market is stabilizing thanks to solid and engaged communities with a healthy trading behavior. Usefulness of tokens now seems to take precedence over the notion of financial investment.</p>



<p>The first era of NFTs where profit and speculation reigned supreme seems over, and gradually a new page in the history of this technology is being written under the mainstream radar.</p>



<p>The next boom is beginning to take shape. There is still time to prepare for it, but get ready because this wave will most likely be even more explosive and impactful than the era of “NFT Collectibles”.</p>

Quarterly NFT Market Report


<p>The bear market has largely impacted the NFT market. For the first time in the history of NFTs, trading-related activities are no longer profitable.

The general public seems to be losing interest in NFTs, if the search volume on Google is to be believed.
Collectibles are the predominant segment in the industry, far ahead of Art or even the Metaverses.

The resale profit volume is down 3% while the total loss volume is up nearly 50% compared to the previous quarter.
For the first time, some segments show a negative balance: Gaming shows a total loss of almost $50 million on the segment, which makes it the least profitable segment of the industry from a trading point of view.

With nearly $8 billion traded in the first quarter of 2022, the market cannot really be considered to have collapsed. We are seeing more of a form of stabilization, in line with the last quarter of 2021.
Conversely, the volume of sales fell by nearly 50%, with a very marked slowdown in the volume of buyers and sellers.
The great novelty of this quarter is undoubtedly the evolution of profitability in the markets. Making a profit in NFTs is no longer so easy in 2022...


<p>Every year since 2018, NonFungible.com publishes “Yearly NFT Market Report” which remains to date the most in-depth and comprehensive piece of research about the NFT Industry</p>



<p>These reports are designed for curious newcomers as well as experienced investors.</p>


Collectibles is probably the segment that is running out of steam in favor of Metaverses and Blockchain Gaming.

With over $5 billion in profit recorded in NFT trading, speculation is an integral part of this market. But this is a more complex activity than it seems...

Markets gradually became saturated with the issuance of millions of new NFTs. How have the markets reacted to this unbridled multiplication of assets?

The market boomed to over $15 billion for nearly 2 million active wallets.

"NFT" was declared word of the year 2021. This is not surprising given the exponential growth of the industry. Between unprecedented opportunities, excessive speculation and new economic models: where are we?

The 200 pages, 70 metrics and 15 interviews of this report have been designed to give you the most complete and up-to-date overview of the different facets of the NFT industry.

<p>Our Q3 Report looks into Non-Fungible Token trends on the Ethereum chain. We use our data to provide an in depth analysis of the market backed with charts and analytics.</p>


Q3 of 2021 broke the $billion threshold by a long way, with almost $6 billion traded on the Ethereum blockchain alone. All indicators continue to show an upwards trend, with the number of wallets in use of both buyers and sellers increasing significantly.

Record USD volume for NFT sales

Unsurprisingly, the collectibles segment generated the most USD volume this quarter, undoubtedly stemming from PFP hype but also from the continual increase in the price of CryptoPunks and Bored Ape Yacht Club.

Market Distribution

The recent growth of the NFT industry has been almost unbelievable. In just a few short months, the $billion-dollar mark has been crossed in traded NFTs, followed by $billion per quarter and only then to be surpassed by $billion per month.

The market we see evolving today is a market that is growing at an exponential rate, with unprecedented liquidity but it is also even more of a speculative and volatile market than ever before.

The current market growth dictates that all investors and NFT stakeholders should pay extra attention as Triple-digit growth goes hand in hand with market instability, unrealistic expectations and potential disappointments.


<p>After launching its first NFT collection to celebrate the anniversary of the legendary R5, Renault continues its roadmap with a second drop. The new RACING SHOE5 collection will be phygical by combining Collectible NFT and the possibility of claiming a pair of physical shoes.</p>



<h2>Renault NFTs: the R5 series</h2>



<p>To celebrate the <sup>50th</sup> anniversary of the Renault 5 (R5) car series, French car brand Renault released its first NFT collection in December 2022: the <a href="https://opensea.io/collection/r3nlt-genr5" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">genR5</a>. Directly inspired by the design of the iconic car, 1972 (in reference to the year the R5 was put on the market) NFT were sold. </p>



<p>With four different genR5 models and several levels of rarity, these NFTs made it possible to be part of the community but also to access benefits and bonuses in the real world. For example, 5 holders of &#8220;Le Car van&#8221; were drawn to watch tennis matches at Rolland Garros from the VIP Village while holders of &#8220;TL&#8221; were drawn to visit the Atelier of The Originals Renault &#8211; La Collection.</p>



<p>The rarest NFT (Electric and R5 Turbo) holders will have the privilege of being drawn for more exclusive benefits such as vehicle tests or a free mint for an upcoming drop.</p>



<p>This genesis edition aims to draw a link between the past and the present as well as prepare the arrival of a new R5 in 2024.</p>

<p>For this 2nd drop, <a href="http://bit.ly/R3NLT-nonFungible" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Renault</a> goes further in innovation and the drop will be pairs of sneakers this time.

The French car brand Renault continues its NFT adventure with a new drop: RACING SHOE5. What's under the hood? 

RACING SHOE5 from Renault


<p>NFTs can be used to connect the real world and the virtual world, even more so when the real world community is already federated. For the sports industry, it was therefore very natural to develop projects around NFTs to be as close as possible to their community. Whether it&#8217;s Adidas, Nike, the NHL or Formula One, all these major brands have made a project or have taken a strong interest in the web3 environment.</p>



<p>One of the latest companies to join the big brands using the benefits offered by NFTs is the French company PMU. With the Stables project, the bet horsing company wants to create a privileged environment between its community and horse racing. But PMU wants to go beyond their own community and expand their world to what Web3 offers the best : a new audience, a new public and new horizons!</p>



<h2>Presentation of PMU and Stables</h2>

<p>The <a href="https://www.pmu.fr/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">PMU</a> is the European leader and n°3 worldwide in horse betting whose economic mission is to finance the French equestrian sector. Their experience in horse racing as well as their in-depth knowledge of this sector will be put to work in Stables.</p>



<p>The Stables project was created in partnership with <a href="https://321founded.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">321founded</a>, a French corporate start-up studio whose job is to create start-ups on behalf of institutions. And to achieve their goals, they have recruited talented web3 experts, professionals from the equestrian world and a video game studio.</p>



<p>Because yes, Stables will be a fantasy game that will use NFT in its gameplay using the Tezos blockchain.</p>



<h2>An Ambitious Horses Fantasy Game</h2>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter"><img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/XXCpaw2UBY2PaTW-ALpo5iNuoJl8ipwmPxgDlWl7xgVx_QkURWwuI5kxff1cRYko2_fLYpARHu07m9jr9-d_WCaMfGNSeHhJMv_3-X4WOJ4lJHhwXKwJP_bM0ZyzQdrzxIdYbQZYeea8rAayfGPXeBHxGhVpymqsbtOllijA3NWR3Ibyw815ZCBXm4K5dA" alt=""/></figure></div>


<p>Stable<strong>s</strong> will be a fantasy game, meaning real-world elements will be used in the game for a more immersive experience. And since it is a fantasy game, several customization options will be available for your horses</p>



<p>Thanks to the use of 10 years of historical race data from the PMU, Stables will be able to create digital duplicates of already existing horses and stables. These doubles will be Stables&#8217; Genesis collection for the first drop.</p>



<p>Hundreds of attributes have been drawn to pixel-perfection by artists with an original and unique style all in 3D. For this first launch, minting at the drop will give you access to the Early Access Pack, which contains:</p>



<ul><li>Your NFT of course</li><li>Access to the alpha of the game</li><li>Bonus items&nbsp;</li><li>Some Stables Points&nbsp;</li><li>1 secret item</li></ul>



<p>From Q3 2023, it will become possible to virtually improve and modify performance and results charts. It is therefore at this point that the decisions will become more important and decisive for the strategy you intend to put in place to be the best!</p>



<h2>The Next Steps of Stables</h2>



<p>Stables is in a whitelist period, so we encourage you to follow them on their social networks and their Discord. By registering, you will receive a free Stables Pass (ntNFT) which will be your key to the entire Stables universe and the whole process up to the mint of your NFT.</p>



<p>The sooner you will be part of this community, the higher the chance you will have to be whitelisted this month. The Stables Whiteslist will open the 9th of January until the end of Q1 2023. The NFT drop will happen.</p>



<p>The game will be released in the third quarter of 2023 and international development is scheduled for the very beginning of 2024. Many surprises are therefore expected by this game with multiple promises!</p>

The equestrian sport industry continues to renew itself and innovate forever and are closer to its supporters. Today, the French company PMU announced an NFT project: Stables.

Stables: A New Fantasy Horse Game


<h2>Iconic Movie Actor Entering the NFT Space</h2>



<p>Since 2020, we have seen the arrival of many players from the film industry in the NFT space. At that time it had become impossible to meet physically in studios due to lockdowns and NFTs opened up a new way for many artists to continue to express themselves.</p>



<p>Anthony Hopkins recognized this very quickly and was one of the first of his peers to create a film by integrating NFTs into his creative process! The film <em>Zero Contact </em>was made remotely and the NFT owners could participate in the making of the film. Many NFT initiatives with films have emerged over the past two years, experimenting with new ways of reinventing cinema.</p>



<p>After the collection that was related to the film <em>Zero Contact</em>, Anthony Hopkins decided to go further into the Web3 ecosystem and released <a href="https://opensea.io/collection/anthony-hopkins-eternal/drop?utm_source=article&amp;utm_medium=article&amp;utm_campaign=nonfungible" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Eternal Collection NFT</a> on October 13th in partnership with Orange Comet.</p>



<h2>Orange Comet Partnership with Sir Anthony Hopkins</h2>



<p>This is not Orange Comet’s first foray into the NFT space, indeed the company has already partnered with AMC’s The Walking Dead’s NFT collection and recently announced expanded partnership to include Anne Rice’s: Interview With The Vampire television series.</p>



<p>On October 13th, it will no longer be a question of cinema but of a new artistic collection with this mint on OpenSea, hosted on Ethereum. Indeed, Anthony Hopkins is not only a film actor but also a painter, with a style that has evolved over the years. Following on with the continuity of his journey towards digital, the artist once again is moving towards NFTs to express his art.</p>

</div></figure>



<p>This collaboration led to the creation of The Eternal Collection consisting of 1000 unique NFTs.</p>



<h2>The Eternal NFT Collection</h2>



<p><a href="https://orangecomet.com/collection/anthony-hopkins-eternal/?utm_source=article&amp;utm_medium=article&amp;utm_campaign=nonfungible" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Eternal Collection</a> has been inspired by the different iconic roles Sir Anthony Hopkins has portrayed during his storied career. Included in the NFT collection one will find the ‘Jester,’ ‘Lover,’ ‘Ruler,’ ‘Rebel,’ ‘Giver,’ ‘Hero,’ ‘Explorer,’ ‘Creator,’ ‘Magician,’ and ‘Sage&#8217;.</p>



<p>For the uniqueness of the creations to be preserved, the supply of the collection is relatively low: only 1000 NFTs will be available for sale. In addition to different levels of rarity, here&#8217;s what The Eternal Collection will contain:</p>



<ul><li>10 Unique and random 1/1 Signature Animation NFTs, each featuring a different character archetype.&nbsp;</li><li>990 Unique 1/1 images based on the 10 archetypes (99 variants for each archetype)</li></ul>



<p>Each of these NFTs are legendary, but the 10 unique 1/1 will allow you to have a Zoom interview with Anthony Hopkins as well as a Dreamscapes Art Book. This art book will allow you to better understand the life and intimacy of the actor through these different visual, written or musical works.</p>



<h2>The Benefits for Holders</h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="683" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/10/anthony-hopkins-nft-collection-1024x683.jpg" alt="anthony hopkins nft collection" class="wp-image-68872" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/10/anthony-hopkins-nft-collection-1024x683.jpg 1024w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/10/anthony-hopkins-nft-collection-300x200.jpg 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/10/anthony-hopkins-nft-collection-768x512.jpg 768w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/10/anthony-hopkins-nft-collection.jpg 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure></div>



<p>This will also be the case for 39 holders of the other 990 legendary works of <a href="https://opensea.io/collection/anthony-hopkins-eternal/drop?utm_source=article&amp;utm_medium=article&amp;utm_campaign=nonfungible" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Eternal Collection</a> to be drawn at random and will receive the art book. Other benefits await these holders randomly:</p>



<ul><li>100 of them will have a special message in the form of an NFT directly delivered to their wallet.</li><li>5 will be randomly chosen to join an intimate discussion with Sir Anthony Hopkins (via Zoom)</li><li>1 will be selected to have a once in a lifetime one-on-one zoom with Sir Anthony Hopkins.</li></ul>



<p>Sir Anthony Hopkins has also announced his partnership with Inner-City Arts. In alignment with their mission “to engage young people in the creative process in order to shape a society of creative, confident, and collaborative individuals,” he has pledged a donation from the proceeds of The Eternal Collection to support their cause, quality arts instruction for students from underserved communities, integrated arts workshops for educators, and programming designed for the community through The Rosenthal Theater in Los Angeles.</p>

<p>One of the main elements of this universe is <a href="https://orangecomet.com/collection/twd-lands-avatars/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the Walking Dead characters being represented as avatars</a> that will help guide you through the upcoming Metaverse! Essential&nbsp;to interaction with the elements of the virtual Walking Dead NFT world, these avatars have been handcrafted in 3D. This first wave of NFTs will represent the most emblematic characters of the series (Michonne and her pets, Mercer, Rick Grimes, Carol Peletier, Daryl Dixon&#8230;) and others are also planned. Imagine, playing in the TWD Lands Universe with Daryl Dixon as your guide? Or maybe tough as nails Carol Peletier to help you?&nbsp; Many things can be possible in the upcoming metaverse.</p>



<p>There will be 10,000 NFTs for this project, which will be minted in two categories: </p>



<ul><li>A 5000 pieces public mint</li><li>A 5000 pieces exclusive tiered mint reserved only for holders of the Walker Access Pass.</li></ul>



<p>Several levels of rarity will be available, but to be guaranteed access to a rare NFT, you must be present 24 hours before the allow list and the public list go live.&nbsp;</p>



<h2>Information About the Walking Dead Avatar Mint</h2>



<p>The Walking Dead Avatar mint will be divided into two parts. The first mint is reserved for existing Walker Access Pass holders and the second mint is open to the public. The price is set at $80 (adjusted in ETH at the time of sale) and the date will be October 5th 2022.</p>



<p>Depending on the number of Walker Access Passes held in the wallet, the time for mint will be different. Those wallets that hold 5 or more Walker Access Passes at the time of the snapshot will get <strong>24 hours</strong> to mint their Avatar NFTs. A pass will allow you to interact with an Avatar (so 5 passes, 5 avatars). These holders will also benefit from a discount of 0.02 ETH over the $80.00 public price.</p>



<p>For owners of 4 Walker Access or less, the mint opening window will be 6 hours and will also have a discount of 0.02 ETH for mint. Finally, during the last two hours of the allow list, Walker Access holders will be able to interact with as many NFTs as they wish.</p>



<p>Regarding the public sale, the reduction of 0.02 ETH will continue to apply for holders of the Access Pass but the mint will be open to all until the supply is exhausted.&nbsp;</p>

The world was introduced to Walkers on Halloween night 11 years ago this year via AMC’s the Walking Dead.  Since February 2022, ‘Walkers’ have inhabited Web3, wreaking havoc and terrifying everyone in their quest for consumption and destruction. 

The Walking Dead NFT Universe Expands With New 3D Character Avatars


<p><a href="https://nonfungible.com/market-tracker/forgottenrunes" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Forgotten Runes Wizard’s Cult</a> (FRWC) launched on June 30, 2021. Less than thirty minutes after launch all 10,000 pixel art Wizards sold out. Less than a year after launch FRWC has summoned attention from beyond its home realm of non-fungible tokens and expanded into traditional media. And at the time of publication FRWC ranks 41st among collectibles available on Ethereum according to our data. What is this phenomenon that has mobilized so many would-be wizards?</p>



<h2>Storytelling, Intellectual Property, and Traditional Media</h2>



<p>Some of the Wizard NFTs feature a pet in addition to the character. Some contain extra visual features like a scythe, and others manage to hold their own heads. All of them call back to 1980s video game art and roleplaying games. FRWC also looks to the future the community can create thanks to the project’s storytelling affordances. These features combine to form what Magic Machine, the project creators, call a ‘legendarium.’ What makes the legendarium different from other projects?&nbsp;</p>



<h3><strong>A Hybrid IP Model</strong></h3>



<p>Magic Machine offer the holder of a Wizard NFT all commercial rights to that NFT. This<a href="https://thedefiant.io/bored-apes-yacht-club-cryptopunks-copyright-fight/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> hybrid intellectual property model</a> allows community members to receive some of the profits from the forthcoming<a href="https://variety.com/2022/tv/news/john-wick-derek-kolstad-forgotten-runes-wizards-cult-series-1235257501/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> comic book, MMORPG, and television releases</a>. The IP model also occupies a middle ground between Creative Commons (CC0) projects where no-one holds any rights and projects where creators alone possess intellectual property rights.</p>



<h3><strong>Web3 Fanfiction: The Runiverse</strong></h3>



<p>From the perspective of community and storytelling, Wizard owners have more at stake because they can add value to their Wizards by creating a backstory that’s verifiably theirs, yet within the overall narrative originated by the folks at Magic Machine. Each backstory created is a collaboration with the creators. This dynamic ‘Runiverse’ differs from Web2 fan fiction because authors have greater access to recognition and compensation for their efforts: the blockchain stores an author’s contribution for all to see.</p>



<h2>What&#8217;s next for Forgotten Runes Wizards’ Cult?</h2>



<p>In addition to the project&#8217;s rapid expansion beyond NFTs, Magic Machine has activated Forgotten Runes Warriors in the runiverse. </p>



<ul><li>Comic Book: According to <a href="https://www.forgottenrunes.com/posts/roadmap">Forgotten Runes Wizards’ Cult roadmap 2.0</a>, the first comic book will be issued in July of 2022. It will cover the larger meta narrative of the project, explain the magic system, and introduce characters.</li><li>MMORPG: <a href="https://www.forgottenrunes.com/posts/forgotten-runiverse-press-release">Magic Machine has partnered with Bisonic Inc</a> for a create-to-earn MMO. The game will be completely on-chain while drawing upon the expertise of folks from Maximum Games. Players will be able to battle, socialize, mint items, and quest.</li><li>TV Show: <a href="https://www.forgottenrunes.com/posts/titmouse" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Magic Machine has partnered with Titmouse</a>, creators of <em>Venture Brothers</em> and <em>Big Mouth</em>, for an anticipated hour-long show series. They’ve already chosen <em>John Wick</em> writer and creator Derek Kolstad to guide the series’ creation.</li></ul>



<p>We&#8217;re excited to see what the design studio and community add to the project. What future do you conjure for the runiverse? Feel free to tell us on Discord or Twitter!</p>

Have you heard of a sorcerer cult using NFTs to tell their story? The Forgotten Runes Wizard's Cult project wants to create its own Runiverse, combining adventure and above all, proof of lore.

Forgotten Runes Wizard’s Cult: A Runiverse of Wizardry


<p>Club E11even is known for hosting some of the world’s best known artists like 50 Cent, Post Malone, Chainsmokers, Diplo, Tiesto, Doja Cat, Snoop Dog, Travis Scott and Ja Rule. Now they’re fusing together the fast-pace, exciting worlds of nightclubs and NFTs with their own collection “11 Captain’s Club” based on their iconic E11even Caps.</p>



<h2><strong>Behind the Scenes of E11even Crypto</strong></h2>



<p>Since April 2021 E11even has been a big player in the crypto space. They broke into the scene as the first club to accept $APE as a means of payment. Now they’ve partnered with <a href="https://horizenlabs.io/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Horizen Labs</a> to publish a collection of NFT hats in its usual striking, provocative style. Here’s a look into the core team for the project:</p>



<ul><li>Dennis Degori: CEO, Founding member, Owner, Creator</li><li>Michael Simkins: CEO, Founding member, Owner</li><li>Greg Norman Jr.: Founding member/ CEO &#8211; Europa Labs</li><li>John Massé: Founding member, Lead Creative Director</li><li>Rob Viglione: Co-Founder and CEO – <a href="https://horizenlabs.io/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Horizen Labs</a></li></ul>



<p>With these veterans of the entertainment industry and the advice of Horizen Labs, <a href="https://11captainsclub.io/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The 11 Captain&#8217;s Club</a> is offering an experience combining digital swag with a real world advantage incomparable to any NFT project that’s come before it.</p>



<h2><strong>The 11 Captain’s Club</strong></h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="420" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/05/caps-club-e11even-1024x420.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-22256" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/05/caps-club-e11even-1024x420.jpg 1024w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/05/caps-club-e11even-300x123.jpg 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/05/caps-club-e11even-768x315.jpg 768w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/05/caps-club-e11even-1536x629.jpg 1536w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/05/caps-club-e11even.jpg 1889w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure></div>



<p>They chose caps because of the simple fact: celebrities around the world wear them. All of them are unique and represent the one who wears it.&nbsp;</p>



<p>There are 1,111 CAP NFTs in the collection, all of which are randomly generated during the mint from over 110 different traits in 8 categories. Some of the more exciting traits you’ll see are the actual hat material, accessories, logos, shades, and of course nightclub effects in the background.</p>



<p>We know, it&#8217;s 2022, and profile pic NFTs are dead, so let&#8217;s get into the most important part &#8211; the utility of owning one of only 1,111 caps.&nbsp;</p>



<ul><li>Mint pass: First access to all future E11even NFT projects</li><li>IRL Pass: Priority access to exclusive E11ven Club events such as The Miami Ultraclub, Hotel and residences, Rooftop restaurant Giselle, Pops around the world.</li><li>Captains-only events: Exclusive invitation to events for Captain’s Club holders.</li><li>Community : Token-gated access to private channel in the E11even Club Discord</li><li>Merch: Limited edition product releases and gifts</li></ul>

Miami’s already a crypto-friendly city, but now their best-known UltraClub is dialing up the heat. E11even is just days away from launching their first NFT collection, focused on giving exclusive utility to its holders.

Ultra Club & NFTs: Is E11even Miami the King of Non-Fungible Nightlife?


<h2><strong>Presentation of the Meta Moose Club</strong></h2>



<p>The idea behind <a href="https://landing.metamooseclub.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Meta Moose Club</a> was born in December 2021 with the ambition to create a universe around hunting. The Meta Moose Club is a collection of 10,000 Moose NFT’s with 150+ hand-drawn traits on the Ethereum blockchain. Each and every moose is uniquely, programmatically generated.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The team behind the project is composed of 5 members :</p>



<ul><li>Jair: Co-Founder, Creator of MMC</li><li>Jocelyn: Co-Founder, Project Manager&nbsp;</li><li>Rosa: Marketing &amp; Community Manager</li><li>Justin: Artist</li><li>Andrey: Content Creator&nbsp;</li></ul>



<p>The presale will open its doors during the month of April and promises many advantages to holders.</p>



<h2><strong>The Meta Moose Club roadmap</strong></h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="400" height="400" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/04/meta-moose-club-moutain.jpg" alt="meta moose club mountain" class="wp-image-20150" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/04/meta-moose-club-moutain.jpg 400w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/04/meta-moose-club-moutain-300x300.jpg 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/04/meta-moose-club-moutain-150x150.jpg 150w" sizes="(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px" /></figure></div>



<p>The project will be divided into several phases, each of which will be an important step in the project. The first will take place in April and will be the pre-sale of the 10,000 Meta Moose Club (MMC) NFTs.</p>



<p>Owning one of these NFTs will allow entry into the next Play to Earn game the Meta Moose Club team is working on. Owning two will allow you to be on the whitelist for the 3D version of your Meta Moose.</p>



<p>Then, the second phase will be the introduction of Meta Moose 3D. During this phase, the 2000 Meta Moose 3D will be presented to the community.</p>



<p>The third phase will consist of the launch of Metamoose 3D. The final date will be announced later in their <a href="https://discord.com/invite/7sNeYYY4Zy" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Discord</a> or Telegram. The 4th phase will follow, which will allow you to buy exclusive Merch from the project.</p>



<p>Phase 5 will be important for the project because it will be the publication of the whitepaper of the game as well as the sale of Land! NFT holders will of course be privileged to be able to participate in this presale before it is opened to the public.&nbsp;</p>



<p>After an introduction to Celestial, the project token, the long-awaited moment of the project is announced for Q3 2023: the official launch of the Meta Moose Lodge Hunting Game beta.</p>



<h2><strong>The Meta Moose Lodge Hunting Game</strong></h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="690" height="692" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/04/meta-moose-club-meta-moose.jpg" alt="meta moose club meta moose" class="wp-image-20148" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/04/meta-moose-club-meta-moose.jpg 690w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/04/meta-moose-club-meta-moose-300x300.jpg 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/04/meta-moose-club-meta-moose-150x150.jpg 150w" sizes="(max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px" /></figure></div>



<p>There is little information about this game scheduled for the third quarter of 2023. But it promises to be innovative! The Meta Moose Lodge would be the first of its kind: a decentralized blockchain based hunting platform where players are able to hunt, breed, buy, sell land, and build.</p>



<p>This launch phase will also be a test phase where players can report any bugs they see and improve the end game experience. Hunt for exotic animals, shoot the right one and you can win real prizes like trophies, rare NFTs, tokens and more!&nbsp;</p>



<p>Of course, it will be possible to breed its Meta Moose in order to obtain others. But that&#8217;s not all! You will be able to organize safaris on your Lands! It is therefore a real ecosystem that awaits these 3.0 hunters.</p>



<p>In order to fully contribute to the preservation of our wildlife, Meta Moose Club has made it a primary goal to donate to multiple wildlife charities which will all be community chosen!&nbsp;</p>

The MetaMoose Club is preparing a new kind of play-to-earn game: a hunter game! Be part of the presale which will happen this month.

Join the Meta Moose Club in a Play-to-Earn Game!


<p><strong>Robot Taekwon V PFP is a Klaytn-based 24×24 3D animation art using the intellectual property (IP) of Robot Taekwon V</strong>. NFTs will be minted in the same way like domestic and foreign projects and the only difference for this project is using the IP of Robot Taekwon V. In addition<strong>, this PFP NFT is unique in a way that it is made with the pure creative content which was made in Korea without imitating or dramatizing characters from overseas.</strong>&nbsp;</p>



<p>The Robot Taekwon V PFP will offer 5 NTFs, featuring 1976 Original, 1982 Super Taekwon V, 1984 84 Taekwon V, 1990 90 Taekwon V, and 2015 Master Taekwon V, and will issue 10,000 NFTs all with different characteristics and attributes. It is expected that the characters will come back with splendid appearance as the unique parts are added to the existing characters.</p>



<p><strong>Robot Taekwon V PFP will be launched on the official website on March 22, 2022.</strong></p>



<h2>What is Robot Taekwon V?</h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="937" height="350" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/03/robot-taekwon-history.png" alt="robot taekwon V history" class="wp-image-18056" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/03/robot-taekwon-history.png 937w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/03/robot-taekwon-history-300x112.png 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/03/robot-taekwon-history-768x287.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 937px) 100vw, 937px" /></figure></div>



<p>Robot Taekwon V, which is the legend in the Korean animation industry, is Korea&#8217;s first robot animation directed by Kim Chung-gi in 1976. After the first movie released, several sequels were produced in 1976, 1982, 1984, and 1990, and gained popularity.&nbsp;</p>



<p>For people born in the 1970s and 1980s, in particular, the Taekwon V was a hero of childhood memories. Robot Taekwon V was almost forgotten from the public in the flood of animation films, and faced the risk of disappearing as the first edition was known to have been lost forever. However, the original film was miraculously discovered and there were many opportunities to remake the movie but failed.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Although the plan to come back again was canceled, there has been good news recently that the Robot Taekwon V, a precious memory and legacy, will be permanently preserved as a non-fungible token (NFT). The hero of the childhood like Superman, and the icon of the era will be born again.</p>



<h2>The Robot Taekwon V Genesis Drop</h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="1200" height="230" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/03/robot-taekwon-PFP-nft-2.png" alt="robot taekwon V nft PFP" class="wp-image-19098" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/03/robot-taekwon-PFP-nft-2.png 1200w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/03/robot-taekwon-PFP-nft-2-300x58.png 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/03/robot-taekwon-PFP-nft-2-1024x196.png 1024w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/03/robot-taekwon-PFP-nft-2-768x147.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></figure></div>



<p><strong>The Genesis Drop on the Robot Taekwon V PFP will be released on March 15</strong>, a week before the official launching. This is an introductory version of limited edition of Taekwon V NFT which were made with 3D work. The Genesis Drop will be a 6-day event, with one character released each day, and all proceeds made during this period will be donated.</p>



<p>Five pieces of Genesis will be donated to victims of wildfires in Uljin and Samchuk in South Korea, and the 6<sup>th </sup>special edition of Genesis will go to organizations related to Ukraine that are suffering from the war. Minting NFTs will be auctioned on OpenSea, the world&#8217;s largest NFT marketplace.</p>

<p><strong>After launching the PFP, Robot Taekwon V plans to enter the Over The Top (OTT) service by making Robot Taekwon V animations.</strong> Also, multiple plans are scheduled; advertising with various media, characterization of Taekwon V games, entering the metaverse, and creating video contents for Taekwondo publicity.</p>



<p>Robot Taekwon V is Korea&#8217;s first animation character. The purpose of permanently preserving Taekwon V as NFT is to re-create the forgotten hero from the past into a new hero of the era. It is hoped that this project will settle down smoothly as a unique Korean representative character through various related projects rather than simply issuing NFTs.</p>

<h2><strong>NFT and Wine: The Establishment Offerings</strong></h2>



<p>Chateau Angelus has produced first-rate Bordeaux wine for over a hundred years and this century; they&#8217;ve expanded into NFTs. As with Nike’s shoes and Hublot’s watches, buying <a href="https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20210712005180/en/Cult-Wines-Releases-NFT-of-Original-Digital-Artwork-Bordeaux-En-Primeur-Together-With-Chateau-Ang%C3%A9lus" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">an Angelus NFT</a> entitles the owner to some of the brand’s products. In the case of Angelus, purchase includes a barrel of wine plus a virtual tasting with Angelus’ CEO and co-owner. Cult Wines, the organization Angelus collaborated with for this offering, will store the wine until it’s ready to drink.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="500" height="500" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/03/NFT-Wine-Cult-Wines.jpg" alt="NFT Wine Cult Wines" class="wp-image-17930" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/03/NFT-Wine-Cult-Wines.jpg 500w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/03/NFT-Wine-Cult-Wines-300x300.jpg 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/03/NFT-Wine-Cult-Wines-150x150.jpg 150w" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /><figcaption><em>NFT Wine &#8211; Cult Wines</em></figcaption></figure></div>



<p>Robert Mondavi Winery has collaborated with high-end porcelain manufacturer Bernardaud to create their own <a href="https://nft.robertmondaviwinery.com/pages/nft" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">distinct package</a>. Every package includes: an NFT of generative art that authenticates a Bernardaud-made porcelain magnum of the Mondavi brand’s 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon from its To Kalon (Greek for ‘the beautiful’) vineyard. For thos unfamiliar, a magnum is a wine bottle two-times the size of a standard 750 ml bottle. This NFT offering from late-2021 is limited to 1,966 bottles which references the year Robert Mondavi Winery was founded.</p>



<p>Five years into its existence, <a href="https://yaofamilywines.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Yao Family Wines</a> led the Non-Fungible Token charge into fine spirits. The winery’s 2016 Chop (Chinese for ‘seal’) included another seal in the form of an NFT. That collectible NFT’s design features the number 11. This represents the year of the wine’s release as well as the jersey number <a href="https://www.nba.com/stats/player/2397/career" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Yao Ming</a> wore during his eight-year career in the National Basketball Association. Yes, it’s that Yao Ming!</p>



<h2>The future of wine and NFTs?</h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="533" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/03/NFT-Wine-Laava-and-Vinsent-secure-wine-1024x533.jpg" alt="NFT Wine Laava and Vinsent secure wine" class="wp-image-17924" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/03/NFT-Wine-Laava-and-Vinsent-secure-wine-1024x533.jpg 1024w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/03/NFT-Wine-Laava-and-Vinsent-secure-wine-300x156.jpg 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/03/NFT-Wine-Laava-and-Vinsent-secure-wine-768x399.jpg 768w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/03/NFT-Wine-Laava-and-Vinsent-secure-wine.jpg 1171w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption><em>NFT Wine Laava and Vinsent secure wine</em></figcaption></figure></div>



<p>If you found the layered approache of the previous three projects intriguing, consider wine futures. In the same way that affluent individuals trade stock and commodities, they also trade wine futures. Buying a future means buying a wine while it’s still maturing in the barrel. And now they do so through NFTs. </p>



<p>The supply chain associated with traditional wine-trading marketplaces tends to absorb significant revenue from sellers and ups prices for buyers. <a href="https://laava.id/vinsent-wine-futures-with-nft-certification/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Vinsent</a> provides a block-chain powered marketplace that brings wine-lovers closer to their desired tipple utilizing the security of Non-Fungible Tokens. </p>



<p>The on-chain marketplace also sidesteps the multibillion dollar counterfeit wine industry. If the proprietary code on the bottle fails to authenticate via a smartphone app that connects the code and the corresponding NFT, a potential buyer knows they’re far from the real thing.</p>



<h2>Metaverse integrated from the start</h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="946" height="496" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/03/NFT-Wine-hellofam.jpg" alt="NFT Wine hellofam" class="wp-image-17932" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/03/NFT-Wine-hellofam.jpg 946w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/03/NFT-Wine-hellofam-300x157.jpg 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/03/NFT-Wine-hellofam-768x403.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 946px) 100vw, 946px" /><figcaption><em>NFT Wine <a href="https://hellofam.wine/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">hellofam</a></em></figcaption></figure></div>



<p><a href="https://hellofam.wine/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hello Fam</a> is a winery that builds in NFTs from the start. Their team combines traditional winery know-how with 21st century marketing and cryptopanache. Their first release — Genesis Vintage 2021 — was only available via an initial NFT offering late in 2021. One Grape Fam NFT of the vintage corresponds to ownership of a 6-bottle case, enough to fuel a Karen for an entire weekend.</p>



<p>Unlike the above projects <a href="https://bitwine.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BitWine</a> is simply digital art backed by… nothing. The pixel art draws upon the same elaborate classification schemes applied in the real wine world minus the bottles and alcohol content. BitWine loops back to NFTs roots in digital art and relies on wine’s history as much as its creators’ bona fides for success. The BitWine team includes an accredited sommelier, Lauren Vaile, and well-recognized pixel artist, Stephen Osborne.</p>



<h2><strong>Conclusion</strong></h2>



<p>Fine wine, like fine art, achieves its lasting richness through layering. NFTs have added one more layer that allows innovators and established wineries alike to expand into the metaverse. We’re curious to learn what new projects will ripen from the fresh blend of 21st century technology and millennia-old tradition now that creators and their audience are closer than ever!</p>

Welcome to the second iteration in our Non-Fungible Tokens and Traditional Life Series. Last time we met, you learned about how NFTs have wound their way into, around and through the sport of golf. Today, we’ll talk about another natural pairing: NFTs and wine!


NFTs and Traditional Life Series: Wine


<p>Welcome to our series about NFTs and elements of traditional life, and what could be more traditional than Golf? Saying the word brings to mind exclusivity: country clubs where membership can cost tens of thousands of dollars annually, expensive equipment and attire that can be as pricey as it is garish. </p>



<p>Nonetheless, egalitarian NFTs have already made their way into all areas of the sport. From golf courses and country clubs to major players and equipment, they’re part of the 500 year old sport.</p>



<h2><strong>PGA Tour and the Sport’s Biggest Names</strong></h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="357" height="500" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/03/BRYSON-American-Champion-NFT.jpg" alt="BRYSON American Champion NFT" class="wp-image-17917" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/03/BRYSON-American-Champion-NFT.jpg 357w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/03/BRYSON-American-Champion-NFT-214x300.jpg 214w" sizes="(max-width: 357px) 100vw, 357px" /><figcaption>BRYSON American Champion NFT</figcaption></figure></div>



<p><a href="https://golf.com/news/pga-tour-nfts-coming-soon/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Professional Golfers’ Association (PGA) will soon offer NFTs</a> from its archive and members who choose to participate. Given the PGA’s Tour’s 2 million viewers, their substantial archive and roster of over 200 players, it’s easy to see how there’s money to be made. Tiger Woods has been one of the Tour’s biggest names for years. </p>



<p>Via Autograph, the company founded with Tom Brady, Woods has<a href="https://www.golfdigest.com/story/tiger-woods-nft-collection-tom-brady-autograph-golf-pga-tour-highlights" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> released over 10,000 NFTs</a>. Prices for this offering ranged from $100 to $1500, which allows plenty of access for fans of different socioeconomic statuses. Other professional golfers have sold NFTs as well.</p>



<p>In fact,<a href="https://golf.com/news/bryson-dechambeau-nft-trading-cards-crypto/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Bryson DeChambeau</a> became the first professional golfer to offer NFTs in the Spring of 2021. Perhaps efforts like those of Woods and DeChambeau will guide the PGA Tour’s approach to NFT releases. We can also look beyond long-established names and organizations to see how NFT projects have influenced the sport.</p>



<h2><strong>Crypto Country Clubs and a DAO Golf Course</strong></h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="484" height="500" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/03/buckets-club-NFT.jpg" alt="buckets club NFT" class="wp-image-17911" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/03/buckets-club-NFT.jpg 484w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/03/buckets-club-NFT-290x300.jpg 290w" sizes="(max-width: 484px) 100vw, 484px" /><figcaption>buckets club NFT</figcaption></figure></div>



<p>Malbon, a golf equipment brand, <a href="https://www.golfdigest.com/story/malbon-golf-buckets-club-nft-digital-country-club-ethereum-cryptocurrency-blockchain-investment" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">offered pop culture infused NFTs</a> that permitted access to a&nbsp; country club in the metaverse called Buckets Club. Buyers of their 1,000 NFTs also gained access to the real-world events and other perks in addition to the club membership.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The Buckets Club mirrors Malbon’s general brand approach: Malbon is a community, an ecosystem. We suspect this is a core reason why their first release immediately sold out: authenticity matters.</p>



<p>Before we get into the DAO Golf Course, what is a DAO? The acronym stands for a Decentralized Autonomous Organization. Unlike the centrally controlled PGA discussed above, a DAO’s hierarchy is flat and runs on the blockchain. DAO members share common interests in the metaverse that can include real-world artifacts. In the case of <a href="https://linksdao.io/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">LinksDAO</a>, its members wish to<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2022/01/05/linksdao-raised-millions-selling-nfts-to-buy-a-golf-course.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> “democratize the country club membership.”</a> And many other folx share their vision.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Within 48 hours, the 9000-plus NFTs they offered brought in $10.4 million. The two membership tiers available cost about $700 and $2700 respectively. If these prices seem steep, compare them to the Medalist Village Golf Club Tiger Woods belongs to. Annual membership there runs $100,000.</p>



<h2><strong>Conclusion</strong></h2>



<p>Golf will likely remain a staple of traditional life for the well-heeled and would-be wealthy. For those of us outside the sculpturesque country club gate, NFTs hold promise to equalize access at the level of the golf course, community, and memorabilia.&nbsp;</p>



<p>This is in keeping with the underlying design of NFTs, in particular their distributed nature. Will the establishment push back? Or will it, against the odds, push forward and embrace the inclusivity NFTs facilitate as much as the revenue?&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>We like to think money will pave the way for further innovation.</strong></p>

Welcome to our series about NFTs and elements of traditional life, and what could be more traditional than Golf? Saying the word brings to mind exclusivity: country clubs where membership can cost tens of thousands of dollars annually, expensive equipment and attire that can be as pricey as it is garish. Nonetheless, egalitarian NFTs have already made their way into all areas of the sport. From golf courses and country clubs to major players and equipment, they’re part of the 500 year old sport.

NFTs and Traditional Life Series, Part 1: Golf


<p>Switzerland is known worldwide for its ability to create exemplary precision watches. Founded by Rafael Simoes Miranda, <a href="https://www.dwiss.com/?utm_source=nonfungible" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">DWISS</a> has been making high-precision watches since 2011.Rafael Simoes Miranda has been designing watches since 2011 and has already won several international awards such as Red Dot Design Award. He is also a trained watch design teacher in Milan, Italy.</p>



<p>One year after its creation in 2011, DWISS won an International Design Award (IDA) thanks to its Niobium watch. Since then, DWISS has collected several other awards including: <a href="https://ifdesign.com/en/winner-ranking/project/dwiss-rw1/299262" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;IF design Awardn</a>,<a href="https://good-design.org/projects/dwiss-m3/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Good Design Australia</a>,<a href="https://www.productdesignaward.eu/winners/epda/2021/10342/#:~:text=DWISS%20(Design%20Watch%20Independent%20Switzerland,materials%2C%20and%20revolutionizing%20sales%20channels." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> European Product design</a>,<a href="https://www.idesignawards.com/winners-old/zoom.php?eid=9-26889-20" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> IDA Design Award</a>.</p>



<p>Today, the young company has decided to innovate by embarking on a new adventure: creating a collection of NFT watches that will be available to use in the metaverse!</p>



<h2>The DWISS NFT Watches</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/02/dwiss-nft-watches-giveaway.jpg" alt="dwiss nft watches giveaway" class="wp-image-13807"/><figcaption>DWISS NFT Watches</figcaption></figure>



<p>With a community of 100k+ members on the social medias and mailing list,, DWISS recently created its <a href="https://twitter.com/DwissWatch" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Twitter</a> account&nbsp; and a <a href="https://discord.gg/dwiss" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Discord</a> to be able to interact with this new community.</p>



<p>This community is the one that will help grow the fashion industry in the metaverse, and help create the first watch NFT. With a limited number of 10,000 copies, this drop will reserve several surprises and benefits for holders.</p>



<p>First, the holders will have the ability to claim the equivalent of $500,000 worth of products in the real world. Owning one of the NFT DWISS with a &#8220;diamond&#8221; characteristic will actually allow access to 200 physical watches (average price of $2,000). In addition, as long as the NFT is kept, a 15% discount will be applied on products in the DWISS range.</p>



<p>Regarding rarity traits, 5 are already defined. The first 4 will represent the primary elements: Air, Water, Earth and Fire. As for the 5th, this will be the element of dark matter. But there will be 3 others that can be decided by the members of the <a href="https://discord.gg/dwiss" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Discord</a>.</p>



<p>It will be enough for the community to show imagination and build&nbsp; the watch of its dreams in the metaverse! , Dreams that will be made reality by a conscientious professional in the industry..</p>



<h2>What is the DWISS Roadmap?</h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/02/dwiss-nft-watch.jpg" alt="dwiss nft watch" class="wp-image-13804"/></figure></div>



<p>The first phase, construction, will consist of setting up the Smart Contract and <a href="https://www.dwiss.com/pages/nft" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the website page</a>. It is also during this period that the first suggestions by&nbsp; the community will be utilized to determine the three remaining rarity traits.</p>



<p>The second phase will have several elements: The promotion of the project to the outside, the activation of the presale for whitelisted users, the date of the public mint (0.1 $ETH) as well as the finition of the smart contract and the giveaway of 100 watches with the average retail value of $1,000 USD to the winners of the giveaways.</p>



<p>Once the mint date is determined, phase three can begin! First it will be opened for the whitelisted, after that the public sales. The time will come to reveal phase 4! This will also be the time for 200 holders to receive 200 watches with the evarage retail value of $2,000 USD.</p>



<p>Phase 5 and 6 will focus on the integration of watches into the Decentraland and The Sandbox metaverses. But also the possibility of having skins for smartwatch and integration in AR! </p>

<p>Originally from Louisville, Kentucky, the horse racing capital of the world, the Party Horses team came together around very simple goals: “Use Web3 for good, have fun, create beauty, destabilize the disappointing, and collaborate with others to build amazing things.”</p>



<p>The project was co-founded by two entrepreneurial horse racing super fans: Justin Delaney, a serial entrepreneur and Brook Smith, a philanthropist and racehorse owner.</p>



<p>To accompany them in this adventure, they’ve put together a lineup of professionals to help them accomplish their goals. :</p>



<ul><li>Izaak Prats, an experienced software engineer whose pedigree includes Meta (formerly Facebook).</li><li>Joey Wagner an event planner</li><li>Camilla Staerk and Helena Christensen creative consultants</li></ul>



<p>Many others, including other Louisville-based Web3 enthusiasts have joined up with the Party Horses team to help make it a reality!</p>

Some bottles of Bourbon are rarer than others. Party Horses is working to bring Bourbon and the Kentucky Derby to the Metaverse!


Bourbon + Racing + NFTs = Party Horses!


<h2>A predecessor to celebrity NFTs from 1997?</h2>



<p>Often, long before most of us try out something — an exercise regimen, food or an art form —&nbsp; a celebrity or influencer seems to have arrived there first. You might reasonably think that celebrity and influencer NFTs of recent years are a new attempt by well-known individuals to capitalize on their digital identities.&nbsp;</p>



<p>However, in true David Bowie style, the legendary stardust cowboy arrived there first in 1997. That year, Bowie offered securities backed by the royalties that his sizable catalogue of music would pay out over the course of a decade. Investors possessed a share in the future royalties, not the intellectual property itself.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Much the same is true of NFTs. If I buy some aspect of an artist’s work, identity, or other intellectual property, I only possess a representation of that property, not the property itself.&nbsp;</p>



<h2>Flawed human beings and NFTs</h2>



<p>In other words, if I buy an NFT that represents Timothée Chalamet’s intellectual property, then I’m investing in the future perceived value of the person and his work. And because we live firmly in the era of #metoo and cancel culture, an investment in the highly public image of flawed human beings who can commit a gaffe at any place or time does feel a bit dubious.&nbsp;</p>



<p>So far, celebrity NFT offerings have reflected this risky proposition. John Cena, a wrestler-turned-actor, collaborated with World Wrestling Entertainment Inc. to sell bundles of goods included with NFTs for a $1000 each. Hardly any sold. The same has been the case with Quentin Tarantino’s uncut scenes from Pulp Fiction.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Little will grow from the thin digital soil that most celeb NFTs sprout from. Look for richer, more layered ground rather than a stand-alone, blurry iPhone photo of Gwyneth Paltrow’s dog. As with more traditional products, consumers can parse thoughtful design and engaged creators from opportunists seeking a hasty cash-grab.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="338" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/02/tarantino-nft-1024x338.jpg" alt="tarantino nft" class="wp-image-13618" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/02/tarantino-nft-1024x338.jpg 1024w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/02/tarantino-nft-300x99.jpg 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/02/tarantino-nft-768x253.jpg 768w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/02/tarantino-nft.jpg 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption>Tarantino NFTs</figcaption></figure></div>



<p><strong>Authenticity matters to would-be celebrity NFT buyers</strong>. Value matters as well. The rare successful celebrity NFT offering has more depth behind it. Paris Hilton joined the NFT community before she made her metaverse offering in a collaboration with artist Blake Kathryn. The credibility gained from exploring the space transferred neatly to her offering. At the same time, her NFTs coincide with her pre-NFT brand: luxury lifestyle, youth, and layers and layers of pink. Consistency pairs well with authenticity. This dynamic is true for Snoop Dogg as well.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="269" height="259" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/02/snoop-dog-the-sandbox.jpg" alt="snoop dog the sandbox" class="wp-image-13617"/><figcaption>The Sandbox &#8211; Snoop Dogg parcels</figcaption></figure></div>



<p>His credibility as a businessman and multimedia cultural icon appears to have transferred smoothly to the metaverse. Of course, it helps that Snoop has spent millions on NFTs in addition to selling them. He recently informed the world that he’s an NFT whale with a collection valued at $17M.</p>



<h2>Abiding strengths</h2>



<p>The underlying benefits that NFTs offer still hold true, with each one held immutable on the blockchain, NFTs are secure and provably authentic with their entire history publicly viewable. NFTs are still true to their name — unique and not-to-be-duplicated — thus providing a means to validate identity.&nbsp;</p>



<p>What’s more, NFTs are on-trend and whilst celebrity and influencer NFT offerings have often fared poorly, those same individuals do tremendous work to publicize and legitimize the NFT ecosystem to a wider public.</p>



<p>Is there a template they can follow to gain greater traction in the NFT world? Or will they follow the template of Bowie Bonds, which lost value due broader record industry issues?&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>It seems unlikely that the latter will come true given the great versatility of NFT usage, their popularity and the ingenuity of the artists who create them.&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p>Source: <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/business-35280945" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bowie Bonds</a> &#8211; <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2022/01/26/paris-hilton-has-invested-in-crypto-since-2016-heres-why-shes-betting-big-on-nfts-and-the-metaverse.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Paris Hilton NFTs</a> &#8211; <a href="https://www.bloombergquint.com/onweb/nfts-by-celebrities-like-grimes-john-cena-and-a-ap-rocky-fall-in-value" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Failed celeb NFTs</a> &#8211; <a href="https://decrypt.co/81478/snoop-dogg-ethereum-nft-whale-cozomo-medici" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Snoop Dogg’s NFT collection / worth $17M</a> </p>


What’s the difference between Bowie’s offering from 25 years ago and celeb NFTs today? NFTs are not necessarily asset-backed. Some NFTs correspond to real world or digital property, whereas others simply stand by themselves.

<h2><strong>Who is behind Bottup.io?</strong></h2>



<p><a href="https://bottup.io/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bottup.io</a> is a Singapore-based startup established in April 2021 that pairs the possibilities offered by Non-fungible Tokens with the team&#8217;s knowledge of craft beer. Bottup was founded by three beer-loving friends who aim to disrupt the alcoholic beverage industry :</p>



<ul><li><strong>Mario Nube</strong>: The brew master. He’s currently a critic and an advisor for local alcoholic beverage productions.</li><li><strong>Andy Velsk</strong>: The artist and creative lead. Andy has over 12 years of&nbsp; animation experience under his belt with expertise in games, comics, and art direction.</li><li><strong>Lawrence Lin</strong>: Lawrence has been driving digital innovation and revenue growth for the past 15 years. He has 5 years of experience in the cryptocurrency industry, having founded a SEA-licensed exchange as well as an industry-leading crypto finance platform.</li></ul>



<p>&nbsp;This passionate team is working together to create a beer enhanced with the taste of caramel, dark chocolate and coffee. Bottup wants to create a new brand, built for enthusiasts, by enthusiasts, without intermediary to reduce the sometimes excessive costs of the usual distribution system.&nbsp;</p>



<h2><strong>More than a simple beer</strong></h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="538" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/02/bottup.io-bottle-1024x538.jpeg" alt="bottup.io bottle" class="wp-image-13608" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/02/bottup.io-bottle-1024x538.jpeg 1024w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/02/bottup.io-bottle-300x158.jpeg 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/02/bottup.io-bottle-768x403.jpeg 768w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/02/bottup.io-bottle.jpeg 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure></div>



<p>With this new brand, the Bottup team wants to make full use of the potential offered by web3 to create an innovative experience for its consumers. First of all, the team has been brewing up special craft beer recipes that come with their own intriguing metaverse characters and stories, starting with this first beer line Bottup Dunkel.&nbsp;</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote"><p>“<em>It is our desire to produce fine craft beer brews and share them globally through NFT and e-commerce distribution, free of the expensive supply chains and distribution networks that multinational alcohol companies take centralized control over</em>”,</p><cite>Bottup.io&#8217;s team</cite></blockquote>



<p>The team is also developing BOTTUP Protocol, a Web 3.0 DeFi ecosystem initiative for all stakeholders in the alcoholic beverage network. These include :</p>



<ul><li>The producers (microbreweries or distillers)</li><li>The distributors (supply chain channels and logistics)</li><li>The retailers (online websites or bars)</li><li>The consumers (influencers or fans of the micro producer products)</li></ul>



<p>Through the utility token BOTTUP, Bottup can entice all the stakeholders on the network by providing relevant and rewarding use cases, such as NFT Auction and Staking capabilities.</p>

<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="1200" height="675" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/02/bottupio-troll.jpg" alt="bottupio troll" class="wp-image-13609" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/02/bottupio-troll.jpg 1200w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/02/bottupio-troll-300x169.jpg 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/02/bottupio-troll-1024x576.jpg 1024w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/02/bottupio-troll-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></figure></div>



<p>Bottup&#8217;s NFTs will have several uses. First of all, the fact that you can have the beer sent to your home to enjoy it, anywhere in the world. But also, each NFT has a character that can be used in several ways. </p>



<p>In the future, there will be more use cases that will be added but these have not yet been announced. But let&#8217;s focus on the existing, what are the NFTs already available?</p>



<p>On February 14th, the project is listing a limited number of Bottup Dunkel NFTs on marketplace for sale, including very few rare “legendary” NFTs, as part of a special pre-sale event in preparation for the open public order for Bottup Dunkel beer. <a href="https://opensea.io/collection/bottup" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Bottup NFT collection is available through this link</a>.</p>



<p>Then, it is important to know that the goblins present on the bottles can be used later in the metaverses. The tokenomics to understand how these monsters can be used to generate $BOTTUP will be raised soon, but the concept of &#8220;drink to earn&#8221; (virtually) is evoked!&nbsp;</p>



<p>In order to better understand the future use cases of Bottup and how the concept of eating or drinking in the metaverse will evolve, we invite you to Visit their official website at <a href="https://bottup.io/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bottup.io</a> and follow them on<a href="https://www.instagram.com/bottupio/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Instagram</a>,<a href="https://twitter.com/Bottupio" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Twitter</a>, and<a href="https://www.facebook.com/bottupio/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Facebook</a> to stay sober for all the latest updates.</p>

<p>Collecting is above all a passion for many people, in theory, it’s possible to create a collection of just about anything: stamps, beans, perfumes, clothes, postcards, garden dwarfs..you get my point!&nbsp;</p>



<p>As long as it remains a pleasure, as long as it makes the collector happy then collecting is not a problem. As soon as it becomes an obsession to the point of becoming harmful to the collector or his entourage, passion becomes an addiction. Digital collecting is now becoming categorized as &#8220;a new addiction&#8221; in the same way as compulsive shopping or cyberaddiction is.</p>



<p>Collecting requires being rigorous and setting clear goals before moving on to the purchase. This practice has existed since the dawn of time and has become an art. Thanks to digital scarcity made possible due to the blockchain, what do NFTs in the &#8220;collectibles&#8221; segment really represent to people today?</p>



<h2><strong>NFT Collectibles are not Art</strong></h2>



<p>To avoid confusion with the rest of this article, it is necessary to clarify that collectibles should not be categorized as art. Although it is possible to collect works of art, the use of collectibles in the NFT ecosystem is far removed from what art is.</p>



<p>It&#8217;s a fine line, but it does exist. To fully understand what differentiates collectibles from art, we invite you to read our two previous articles:</p>



<ul><li><a href="https://nonfungible.com/news/art/the-cryptoart-movement">What is the crypto-art movement?</a></li><li><a href="https://nonfungible.com/news/art/art-of-nfts">Art and NFTs.</a></li></ul>



<p>If virtual collectibles are to be separated from art, it is for a reason: they have a use and are usually attached to a project. Even if artists have previously worked on the visual aspect of the collectibles, the purpose of its existence will not only have the purpose of existing for art.&nbsp;</p>



<h2><strong>Examples of Collectible NFTs</strong></h2>



<p>So, what are NFT Collectibles? We have seen several ways to develop projects around this segment, some have the sole purpose of serving as a collector&#8217;s item, others belong to other segments such as video games.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Here are some projects and experiments that can be used as a reference to define this segment.</p>



<h3><strong>Profile Pictures : Meebits, Bored Ape Yacht Club, CryptoPunks</strong></h3>



<p>In 2021, shortly after the success of the sale of the <a href="https://nonfungible.com/market-tracker/boredapeclub" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bored Ape Yacht Club</a>, LarvaLabs&#8217; <a href="https://nonfungible.com/market-tracker/meebits" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Meebits</a> project was also sold out in less than a day. These two sales were the prelude to a fashion that would last all summer: Profile Pictures.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/12/BAYC-Meebits-number-of-sales-1024x576.jpg" alt="BAYC Meebits number of sales" class="wp-image-11084"/><figcaption>BAYC vs Meebits number of sales</figcaption></figure></div>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/12/BAYC-Meebits-USD-volume.jpg" alt="BAYC Meebits USD volume" class="wp-image-11085"/><figcaption>BAYC vs Meebits USD volume</figcaption></figure></div>



<p>Profile pictures (PFP) are avatars that have been generated through an algorithm. The characteristics that constitute each avatar are created upstream and can take several forms:</p>



<ul><li>Earrings</li><li>Glasses</li><li>Hat</li><li>Skin color</li><li>Tee-shirt</li><li>Pendant</li><li>Piercing</li><li>Species (alien, robot, zombie etc..)</li></ul>



<p>Some of the features are rarer than others, so avatars that possess them will be more sought after, for BAYC and Meebits, the characteristics were defined randomly during the mint.</p>



<p>Before BAYC and Meebits, it was mostly <a href="https://nonfungible.com/market-tracker/cryptopunks" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">CryptoPunks</a> that served as Profile Pictures signifying OG status in the NFT space. Displaying these made it possible to publicly show your inherent belonging to the NFT community. But with the arrival of newcomers to the ecosystem since the 2020 lockdowns, the desire to &#8220;be part of an NFT community&#8221; has broadened.</p>



<p>Then came the &#8220;NFT Summer&#8221;, with so much PFP-type project creation that it ended up flooding the market. We were able to see in our <a href="https://nonfungible.com/reports/2021/en/q3-quarterly-nft-market-report" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFT Q3 2021</a> report the trend of selling, at a loss, some NFT projects such as collectibles.</p>



<h3><strong>Collectible Cards and badges</strong></h3>



<p>Collectible card NFTs have only one purpose: to be collected, they can represent players of well-known sports, key moments in life or historical events.</p>



<p>On the Wax blockchain for example, it is possible to find IPs known as Hot Wheels or MLB. On Ethereum, the <a href="https://curionft.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Oncurio</a> project offers Collectibles from Mars Attack, Heavy Metal or Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.</p>



<p>Badges are also collectible NFTs but have a different purpose other than just cards. They are usually used to reward users after completing a number of tasks.</p>



<p>This is the case, for example, with the <a href="https://enjin.io/blog/microsoft-azure-heroes" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Microsoft Azure program</a> that distributes NFTs to reward learning efforts on its platform. Before them, it was Gitcoin who were already doing this with the Kudos.</p>



<h3><strong>Blockchain Games and Collectibles</strong></h3>



<p>Generally, the NFTs that can be used in video games are equipment such as weapons or armor. But there are, however, some NFT use cases related to the video game environment.</p>



<p>The best example is the Trading Card Game <a href="https://nonfungible.com/market-tracker/godsunchained" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Gods Unchained</a>, where several card qualities exist:</p>



<ul><li>Meteorite : common</li><li>Shadow : uncommon</li><li>Gold : rare</li><li>Diamond : very rare</li></ul>



<p>The quality of the map will not change anything in the gameplay during the game, this feature is primarily for collectors.</p>



<p>Another interesting example of use comes from the game Illuvium. Illuvium aims to be a Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG) using NFTs and blockchain as the center of the game. For their presale, NFTs are promotional badges and emotes to use in the game!</p>



<p>Another form that NFTs can take as a collector&#8217;s item are &#8220;skins&#8221;. The appearances of certain weapons or characters are also assets to collect. In the game Lightnite inspired by Fornite, a marketplace allows you to exchange different appearances of weapons that can be used in the game. This is also the case for the Battle Royale style game Blankos which has its own marketplace.</p>



<h2><strong>NFT Collectibles are part of the digital identity</strong></h2>



<p>It is important to remember that &#8220;real ownership&#8221; is a notion strongly rooted in the identity of the crypto universe. Collectors like to own things as diverse as they are varied, so it&#8217;s natural to find this behavior in the NFT ecosystem.</p>



<p>Collectible NFTs therefore take many forms and are not just randomly generated avatars. They are as much part of the small as they are the big things of the virtual everyday lifestyle.&nbsp;</p>


"Collectible" NFTs can be similar to digital collectibles, but there is a fine line between collectibles and the art segment, so how do we define what are and are not collectibles?

NFT Collectibles: What are they?


<p>We spoke in a <a href="https://nonfungible.com/news/collectible/future-wearable-nft-with-cryptowatches" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">previous article</a> about Crypto Watches, the NFT that is designed specifically for smartwatches. Indeed different collections, created in partnership with well-known brands and artists, will be available soon giving you the opportunity to <strong>customise your branded NFT watch interface</strong>.</p>



<p>It will also soon be possible to interact with your environment, connect with community members or share your collection with other Crypto Watches users.</p>



<p>In order to further complete this <strong>fusion between luxury and NFT wearables</strong>, it’s essential to have a secure and easy-to-use location to exchange these assets. This place is called <a href="https://watchskins.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Watch Skins</a>, the dedicated marketplace where users can buy and sell Crypto Watches, as well as download the apps to make them function on your Apple, Android or Samsung smartwatch.</p>



<h2><strong>A valuable Watch App Marketplace</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<iframe loading="lazy" title="WatchSkins" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/1AoxYvrHYgc?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div></figure>



<p>Creating a community link between the different users of Crypto Watches is one thing, but the Watch Skins marketplace brings complementary features that will create <strong>a new kind of business relationship</strong>.</p>



<p>The benefits of using blockchain and NFTs are numerous, both for users and brands:</p>



<ul><li>Creating community</li><li>Creators can express their individuality</li><li>Low manufacturing cost</li><li>Prevention of counterfeiting</li><li>Ability to verify rarity</li></ul>



<p>This list is obviously not exhaustive, but already gives an overview of <strong>the different advantages of using NFTs,</strong> to be able to deliver NFTs as branded products and also for the end user to easily check the rarity or authenticity of their digital items.</p>



<p>This makes it possible to create a relationship of trust, which has become indispensable today for any exchange of digital value. The Watch Skins marketplace is a semi-centralized intermediary, thus combining <strong>curation </strong>and <strong>decentralized signature</strong> of content.</p>



<h2><strong>A great choice of personalization</strong></h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="1000" height="375" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/12/watch-skins-marketplace.png" alt="watch skins marketplace" class="wp-image-10390" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/12/watch-skins-marketplace.png 1000w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/12/watch-skins-marketplace-300x113.png 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/12/watch-skins-marketplace-768x288.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></figure></div>



<p>The central element of Watch Skins is the extensive freedom that creators will have in customizing their watch. Although the basic collections have pre-determined elements, other elements open up a much wider field of possibilities!</p>



<p>For example, creators will be able to earn perpetual royalties from sales, have creations that change shape over time, hold the ability to transfer their artistic work, and have these creations curated according to several categories including:</p>



<ul><li>Sports and athletes&nbsp;</li><li>Music</li><li>Entertainment</li><li>Automotive</li><li>Celebrities and influencers</li><li>Video games</li><li>Digital art</li><li>Existing watch and fashion brands&nbsp;</li></ul>



<p>These categories aim to better showcase the different artistic directions, thus allowing brands to better target their audience and also highlight each artist&#8217;s specialities.</p>



<p>Thanks to these personalization aspects and the personal interactions developed between the different actors in this ecosystem, the value of Watch Skins lies in the versatile nature of the content offered.</p>



<p>Luxury brands will be able to release exclusive works adapted for high end&nbsp; accessories but this will not prevent users from accessing more affordable content and participating in the community.&nbsp;</p>



<h2><strong>Conclusion</strong></h2>



<p>The NFT market lends itself well to the relationship between digital and physical accessories, an alliance in which Watch Skins looks to offer an entire turnkey ecosystem for owners of connected watches.</p>



<p>The Watch Skins marketplace forges a link between buyers and creators. The cornerstone of their value proposition: use of licensed content on the blockchain to certify the origin and legitimacy of wearable artistic work, making it possible to verify with certainty that the asset purchased is authentic.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Although the worlds of Non-fungible and &#8220;Phygital&#8221; are very young industries, Watch Skins and Crypto Watches are forerunners in the game with a promising future rich in new digital experiences both inside and outside the Metaverse!</p>

We talked in a previous article about Crypto Watches, the wearable NFT for smartwatches. Today we present to you with Watch Skins, the marketplace that allows you to exchange these NFTs!

Introducing the Watch Skins Marketplace


<h2><strong>Warner Bros &amp; Nifty’s Partnership</strong></h2>



<p>In a recent article we returned to look at the possibilities offered by <a href="https://nonfungible.com/academy/nft/popular-nft-art-use-cases">NFTs for the Film industry</a>. With a view to finding ways to connect with audiences that are increasingly innovative, Warner Bros. has partnered with NFT Nifty&#8217;s</p>



<p>This is not the first partnership between Nifty&#8217;s and Warner, indeed, several <a href="https://niftys.com/spacejam?s=2z7X" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFT drops from the Space Jam movie</a> have already taken place on the platform this year in the form of collectible trading cards making it possible to trade your favorite Space Jam characters.</p>



<p>A second experiment seeks to take the experience even further, especially with Matrix Resurrections. The film hits theaters on December 22nd 2021 but the story in Web3 will begin on November 30th.</p>



<p>We will find out in this article what awaits you, but the partnerships this year between the big film production studios and the NFT marketplaces augur many surprises for next year!</p>



<h2><strong>The Nifty’s Marketplace and the Palm Sidechain</strong></h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="438" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/11/niftys-and-palm.jpg" alt="niftys and palm" class="wp-image-10269" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/11/niftys-and-palm.jpg 1024w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/11/niftys-and-palm-300x128.jpg 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/11/niftys-and-palm-768x329.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure></div>



<p>The <a href="https://niftys.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Nifty&#8217;s</a> platform offers a smooth NFT shopping experience as the marketplace uses the Palm sidechain. There are two ways to buy NFTs on the Nifty’s marketplace:&nbsp;</p>



<ul><li>Thanks to your credit card, you will be able to buy the basic avatars directly.</li><li>To use a <a href="https://app.palm.io/bridge" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">bridge</a> to make a crypto (in $DAI, $WETH or $PRT) deposit to your Palm account.&nbsp;</li></ul>



<p>Take note that when depositing cryptos, it will take a few hours before you can see them appear on your Palm account.</p>



<p>Also, NFTs purchased on Palm use the ERC-721 standard and can be withdrawn to Ethereum. That said, it is still important to note that it will only be possible to withdraw its NFTs on Ethereum when the Palm sidechain enables it.</p>



<h2><strong>A 100,000 Matrix PFP Collection</strong></h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="333" height="500" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/11/Matrix-PFP-base-avatar.jpg" alt="Matrix niftys PFP base" class="wp-image-10267" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/11/Matrix-PFP-base-avatar.jpg 333w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/11/Matrix-PFP-base-avatar-200x300.jpg 200w" sizes="(max-width: 333px) 100vw, 333px" /><figcaption> <em>Nifty&#8217;s Matrix normal male avatar</em> </figcaption></figure></div>



<p>Now that the preparations are done, let&#8217;s take a closer look at what this <a href="https://niftys.com/events/matrix" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFT avatar dro</a>p is.&nbsp;</p>



<p>This avatar, as you can imagine, is full of surprises! This is a Profile Picture (PFP) collection and one of the first unusual aspects of it is the supply. No less than 100,000 NFTs will be available at $50 each, making it <strong>the largest PFP collection created so far</strong>.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Also, it is important to know that there will be a purchase limit of 25 avatars per account and perd day, the goal being that a maximum of people can participate in the event.</p>



<p>The first stage of this sale will take place on November 30th and it will be possible to acquire 1 or more &#8220;base&#8221; avatars of the franchise. These avatars will be randomly distributed among participants and will have several different characteristics: jewelry, clothing, shoes, hair color, and accessories..</p>



<p>So many NFTs have been planned, on one hand this is because it’s the first time a mainstream IP such as the Matrix has created a PFP collection but also because these avatars will evolve..</p>



<h2><strong>The Matrix NFTs future use cases</strong></h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="333" height="500" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/11/Matrix-PFP-woke-avatar.jpg" alt="Matrix niftys PFP awake" class="wp-image-10268" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/11/Matrix-PFP-woke-avatar.jpg 333w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/11/Matrix-PFP-woke-avatar-200x300.jpg 200w" sizes="(max-width: 333px) 100vw, 333px" /><figcaption><em>Nifty&#8217;s Matrix evolved male avatar</em></figcaption></figure></div>



<p>Then, two weeks later, on December 16th, you will be offered a choice. A choice between two pills, a blue and a red one. You know the story: if you choose the blue pill, your avatar will remain in the matrix. If you choose the red one, your avatar will turn into a resistance fighter and therefore change aesthetics.</p>



<p><em>“But I can only show you the door. You’re the one that has to walk through it.”</em></p>



<p>Your base avatar will become an avatar awakened or not in the matrix. In both cases, missions will be proposed to continue to evolve your character. These missions will aim to improve your score on a red or blue leaderboard, allowing you to gimper in the ranking and then earn rarer NFTs.</p>



<p class="has-vivid-red-color has-text-color">Disclaimer: This is a sponsored article. No content or article should be considered as financial advice. We strongly recommend you to conduct due diligence and always do your own research before investing in a project.</p>


“You take the blue pill...the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill...you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.”


The Matrix NFT Avatars are coming to Nifty’s!


<p>Before 2018 and the ERC-721 standard for Non-Fungible Tokens, some projects appeared to push the boundaries of what was possible to achieve on Ethereum, best known is obviously <a href="https://nonfungible.com/market-tracker/cryptopunks" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">CryptoPunks</a>, but before that, there were also others.</p>



<p>In 2017, PonderWare decided to create a whole project around a virtual and <strong>pixelated cat rescue</strong>. We are not talking about CryptoKitties but about the <a href="https://nonfungible.com/market-tracker/mooncatrescue" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">MoonCats project</a>! To save these poor cats lost in space, it was necessary to randomly generate them from the smart contract.</p>



<p>Indeed it took a very long time to save all these little cats but finally after four years almost all of the 25,440 cats were rescued, well, almost because 160 <em>genesis cats</em> will remain on the Moon forever following a vote by the community.</p>



<h2><strong>How did the distribution go?</strong></h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="871" height="526" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/11/Mooncat-Rescue-distribution.jpeg" alt="Mooncat Rescue distribution" class="wp-image-10051" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/11/Mooncat-Rescue-distribution.jpeg 871w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/11/Mooncat-Rescue-distribution-300x181.jpeg 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/11/Mooncat-Rescue-distribution-768x464.jpeg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 871px) 100vw, 871px" /></figure></div>



<p>All this time, these cats were almost abandoned on the Moon. But no fear, this is no longer the case today! Since NFTs gained great popularity and thanks to crypto-archaeologists, this year <strong>a new community has been created around MoonCats</strong>.</p>



<p>First, let&#8217;s look at the <a href="https://www.ponderware.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ponderware</a> team:</p>



<ul><li>David Scarpetti : Founder &amp; Lead Dev</li><li>Brooks Boyd : Community Member Prime &amp; Senior Dev</li><li>Jason&nbsp; : Founder</li><li>Anna Marie Privitere:&nbsp; Community Manager &amp; Project Manager</li><li>Dan Millar: Developer&nbsp;</li><li>Mark Darling: Junior Developer</li><li>PixelLitterbox: Social Media Manager &amp; Accessory Artist</li></ul>



<p>It is always interesting to see how the distribution went as well as how the NFTs were generated. Ponderware applied itself to having a fair distribution as well as the most random generation possible.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<iframe loading="lazy" title="How to adopt a cat on Adoption Center" width="500" height="375" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/0Ww04EFUcPc?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div></figure>



<p>Since all <a href="https://mooncat.community/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">MoonCats</a> were adopted, the project has evolved with many new features and the community has developed a space roadmap.</p>



<h2><strong>A complete MoonCats universe</strong></h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="740" height="752" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/11/mooncat-accessory.jpg" alt="mooncat accessory" class="wp-image-10048" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/11/mooncat-accessory.jpg 740w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/11/mooncat-accessory-295x300.jpg 295w" sizes="(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px" /></figure></div>



<p>The evolution that the project has undergone since its rediscovery has been dazzling! It has now become a much more complete ecosystem that has put its community at the center of decision making.</p>



<p>First of all, the accessories.. it&#8217;s possible to include additional elements to customize your cat! Just go to the <a href="https://mooncat.community/accessory-designer" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">accessory designer</a> page to create a hat, a sweater or gloves for your MoonCat.</p>



<p>If the creative energy is not there, there is an <a href="https://boutique.mooncat.community/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">accessory shop</a> to look for something to dress your cat in.</p>



<p>Beyond the accessories, another initiative is particularly interesting, <a href="https://mooncat.community/lootprints-faq" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">lootprint.</a> Inspired by the Loot project, each Mooncat owner is able to have the opportunity to mint his Lootprint which in turn&nbsp; creates a rocket to explore space!</p>



<h3><strong>Want to get involved in the MoonCat ecosystem?</strong></h3>

<p>An offer came in that the MoonCats could not pass up to create their own flavors of <a href="https://pop.mooncat.community/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">MoonCatPop</a>, a virtual soda NFT that begins minting on Wednesday Nov 24th. In the first batch, 84 MoonCats elected to become Spokescats, each repping their own soda designs and flavours. Each vending machine dispenses 100 photorealistic animated can NFTs at just 0.05 ETH each. Once they sell out, they are gone for good!</p>



<p>If running your own vending machine is something you are interested in, there will be another opportunity for MoonCat cuddlers to snag a vending machine later this year. So keep your diamond paws ready to slap that mint button, and join the friendly <a href="https://discord.gg/mooncats" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">MoonCatCommunity discord</a>.</p>



<h2><strong>The MoonCats roadmap</strong></h2>



<p>Looking at the <a href="https://mooncat.community/roadmap" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Roadmap</a>&nbsp; planned for the Mooncats, the stages are enough to make any metaverse lovers dream come true. Several of them have already been initiated starting with &#8220;Astral Projection&#8221;. There are now dedicated spaces in Isotile or The Sandbox where it is possible to see your Moontcat evolve!</p>



<p>The next short-term steps will be to be able to change your name (Autographs), be more present on-chain (Chain Gang) or have a dedicated game (Sportballs).</p>



<p>For the long term, the search for their home planet (Deep Space) seems to be an important step. The desire to create different musical elements (Discordant Meows), tell their story (Linguistics) or the mysterious quest &#8220;Treasure Planet&#8221; are part of the next steps in the journey.</p>



<p><strong>The challenges that await these little cats are still numerous, but with a close-knit community like theirs, travelling through space should not be a problem!</strong></p>

After the rescue of the MoonCats, their adventure continues! Have you heard about these OG NFT cats and their universe? Let's introduce them to you!

What’s coming next after the rescue of the MoonCats?


<p>We talked in a<a href="https://nonfungible.com/blog/cryptocom-nft-marketplace-exclusive-drops" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> previous article</a> about the different collections that were launching on Crypto.com NFT. Artwork by <strong>Snoop Dogg</strong>, <strong>BossLogic, </strong>and the <strong>Aston Martin Cognizant Formula One™ team </strong>dropped exclusively on the platform.</p>



<p>Today, <strong>world-renowned artists</strong> continue to offer NFTs on Crypto.com NFT, but equally important news has recently been announced: the reduction of buyer and seller fees in the Marketplace!</p>



<h2>Low fees and minting open for everyone</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

</div></figure>



<p>The ability to mint NFTs directly on the platform was highly-anticipated by many users. Previously, you had to do so through the Crypto.com NFT team, but now, any user can fill out a form and <strong>become a creator!</strong></p>



<p>The video above shows step-by-step instructions on <strong>how to mint</strong> your first NFT on the popular platform and sell it in the Marketplace. In addition to this feature, users will be able to enjoy lower fees for a limited time!</p>



<p>Until December 31, 2021, Crypto.com NFT is offering reduced fees for <strong>primary </strong>or <strong>secondary </strong>sales, from 5% to <strong>1.99%</strong>.</p>



<h2>New and future drops on Crypto.com</h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="800" height="450" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/11/cryptocom-drop.jpeg" alt="cryptocom drop" class="wp-image-9591" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/11/cryptocom-drop.jpeg 800w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/11/cryptocom-drop-300x169.jpeg 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/11/cryptocom-drop-768x432.jpeg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /><figcaption>76ers NFT collection drop</figcaption></figure></div>



<p>New collections have followed one another since our last article and more are still to come.</p>



<p>The first drop of the <strong>Cryptoverse </strong>series was<a href="https://blog.crypto.com/cryptoverse-collection-1-lion-master-cro/?utm_source=nonfungible&amp;utm_medium=article" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Lion Master.</a> This collection is <strong>lion-</strong>themed<strong> </strong>and users had the chance to win token rewards and other prizes by collecting specific NFTs from the drop.</p>



<p>The second drop in the series featured <a href="https://blog.crypto.com/cryptoverse-collection-2-shibakun-shib/?utm_source=nonfungible&amp;utm_medium=article" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Shiba Inu</a>—a token that is now known to all! The <strong>Shibakun collection<em> </em></strong>also included a special sweepstakes that rewarded Crypto.com NFT users.</p>



<p>Other excitinutm_sg drops are also in the works, including that of the<a href="https://crypto.com/nft/drops-event/50bcd086dbfae60dc546983acdbaf4c6/?utm_source=nonfungible&amp;utm_medium=article" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> <strong>NBA’s Philadelphia 76ers</strong></a><strong>, the UFC, </strong><a href="https://crypto.com/nft/drops/?utm_source=nonfungible&amp;utm_medium=article" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>and much more</strong></a>. Stay tuned for future announcements!</p>



<h2>Conclusion</h2>



<p>Thanks to the ease of minting NFTs directly on Crypto.com NFT, creators from all walks of life can now share their art with the world.</p>



<p>Drops on Crypto.com NFT are not only exclusive to users of the platform, but they also often include giveaways, redeemables, and other engaging elements, making collecting all the more fun. It’s no surprise that the secondary Marketplace is growing as fast as it is.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Don’t hesitate to follow Crypto.com NFT on social media to discover the news before everyone else does!</strong></p>

crypto.com continues the development of its NFT marketplace with new drops and a special promotion until the end of the year!

New drops on Crypto.com and lower minting fees!


<p>One NFT use case that has accelerated this year is in donating a portion of profits from their sales to charity. Some projects go even further than this and are dedicating their work towards a <strong>humanitarian </strong>or <strong>ecological </strong>cause.</p>



<p>More and more crypto players are aware of <strong>charity donations</strong>, so it is natural to see more <strong>specialized projects growing </strong>in this area and this is the case for <a href="https://www.military.finance/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">military.finance</a>, which was created around a very simple idea: to raise funds to support US military veterans and other affiliated organizations.</p>



<p>Let&#8217;s take a closer look at the way this will work as well as the NFT collection to launch on <strong>October 31st</strong>.</p>



<h2>Presentation of Military.finance</h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="1200" height="905" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/10/military-finance-taya-chris-kyle-fondation.jpg" alt="military finance taya chris kyle fondation" class="wp-image-9405" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/10/military-finance-taya-chris-kyle-fondation.jpg 1200w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/10/military-finance-taya-chris-kyle-fondation-300x226.jpg 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/10/military-finance-taya-chris-kyle-fondation-1024x772.jpg 1024w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/10/military-finance-taya-chris-kyle-fondation-768x579.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /><figcaption>Military.finance</figcaption></figure></div>



<p><a href="https://www.military.finance/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Military.Finance</a> was created on May 10th, 2021 as a cryptocurrency focused on <strong>helping veterans</strong>.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Having chosen the <strong>Binance Smart Chain</strong> in particular to avoid Ethereum transaction fees, to date military.finance has donated $50,000 to two veteran charity programs:&nbsp;</p>



<ul><li>John Daly and Major Ed &#8211; Heart of a Lion Foundation (<a href="http://www.jdme.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">www.jdme.org</a>) $20,000 donated on June 2, 2021.</li><li>Taya and Chris Kyle Foundation (www.tackf.org) $30,000 donated on July 13, 2021.</li></ul>



<p>In addition, these operations were able to raise over $15,000, directly donated to <strong>veterans</strong> and <strong>soldiers</strong> in need featuring different programmes to accept the donations :</p>



<ul><li>A Soldier’s Wish Program</li><li><a href="https://www.military.finance/help" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Help a Vet Program</a></li><li><a href="https://www.military.finance/sas" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Surprise a Soldier</a></li><li><a href="https://www.military.finance/rescue" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Rescue</a></li><li><a href="http://www.heroicheartsproject.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Heroic Hearts Project </a>(treating veterans with PTSD using Ayahuasca &amp; Psychedelic Therapy</li></ul>



<p>These various operations for the American armed forces have been a great success: until then very few actions have existed to allow these kind of initiatives.</p>



<h2>NFTs in memory of U.S. heroes</h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="1884" height="629" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/10/military-finance-Heroic-hearts.jpg" alt="military finance Heroic hearts" class="wp-image-9404" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/10/military-finance-Heroic-hearts.jpg 1884w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/10/military-finance-Heroic-hearts-300x100.jpg 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/10/military-finance-Heroic-hearts-1024x342.jpg 1024w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/10/military-finance-Heroic-hearts-768x256.jpg 768w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/10/military-finance-Heroic-hearts-1536x513.jpg 1536w" sizes="(max-width: 1884px) 100vw, 1884px" /><figcaption>Heroic Hearts Project &amp; Military.finance</figcaption></figure></div>



<p>The next steps of this giving initiative is to launch an NFT collection in order to honor and preserve the <strong>US nation’s history</strong> while highlighting and supporting their heroes. Military.Finance has been able to establish partnerships with museums with artefact collections significant in military history.</p>



<p>There is another important aspect to this project, celebrating famous war veterans. The NFT collection depicting the heros will be produced including <strong>historical figures</strong> from the American army throughout time.</p>



<p>The role of these historical figures will be in the opportunity to collect them and view their conversations in contrast to the problems facing North America today.</p>



<p>And in addition to these important figures, another collection will be entirely dedicated to USA Presidents..</p>



<h2>The US Presidential NFT series</h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="600" height="338" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/10/military-finance-george-collection.gif" alt="military finance george collection" class="wp-image-9403"/></figure></div>



<p>This collection will begin with <strong>George Washington</strong>, the first president of the United States with the other presidents following in chronological order. The &#8220;George&#8221; collection will be launched on October 31st, 2021 and will include several elements:</p>



<ul><li>Authentic digital designs</li><li>Complicated animations</li><li>Unique off-line components</li></ul>



<p>The <strong>offline content</strong> will take the form of a limited edition book, the printing and framing of an NFT, a collector&#8217;s item and a Bobble-head.</p>



<p>There will also be benefits for buyers, although the main beneficiaries will be the soldiers and veterans who need them. First of all, there will be an opportunity to talk with a <strong>Major influencer</strong>, but also Custom Swag and Premium Content.</p>



<p>It is important to know that having a George NFT will:</p>



<ul><li>Guarantee $MIL tokens, from 100 Million Up to 1 Billion $MIL Tokens (unlock</li><li>amount after NFT purchase)</li><li>5% Buy and Burn of $MIL</li></ul>



<p>So there should be other types of benefits with future collections to come. If you have more questions about the project, don’t hesitate to go to their social networks so they can answer them!</p>

<p>&nbsp;<a href="https://oncurio.com/?utm_source=nonfungible" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Curio</a> is a premier NFT platform partnering with the biggest names in entertainment. Whether you’re a crypto-native or have never purchased an NFT, Curio makes it easy to participate in and build <strong>NFT collections</strong>. Curio’s mission is to leverage the power of blockchain to connect fans to the artists, characters, and stories we know and love.</p>



<h2><strong>How Curio is connecting with fandoms? </strong></h2>



<p>Curio has brought storytelling and fandoms of <a href="https://nonfungible.com/news/collectible/heavy-metal-first-nft-collection-magazine-covers-on-curio" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">traditional entertainment</a> and brought it to the metaverse. While NFTs are often created as their own entity and community, NFTs can be used to engage new <strong>mainstream communities</strong> based on their familiarity and utility. </p>



<p>There is great potential for expanding fandoms through the use of NFTs and Curio’s only begun to scratch the surface on opportunities in this space. With a <strong>fan first mindset</strong>, here are a few of the ways Curio is connecting with the NFT community through increased outreach in IRL and via our partnerships this month:&nbsp;</p>



<h3>NFT.NYC</h3>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="1216" height="390" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/10/NFT-NYC.jpg" alt="NFT NYC" class="wp-image-9376" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/10/NFT-NYC.jpg 1216w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/10/NFT-NYC-300x96.jpg 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/10/NFT-NYC-1024x328.jpg 1024w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/10/NFT-NYC-768x246.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1216px) 100vw, 1216px" /><figcaption><em>NFT.NYC 2021</em></figcaption></figure></div>



<p><a href="https://www.nft.nyc/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFT.NYC</a>, the leading annual Non-Fungible Token event, is happening the first week of November and Curio will be there live to interact with fans on a personal level. It’s not every day fans can translate the metaverse to an IRL event and NFT.NYC is one of the first big NFT events Curio is participating in to meet fellow community members and fans.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Not only is Curio hosting a booth inside the conference but collaborating on an event with Knights of Degen and NFT Redzone for a night of entertainment and gaming at Slate NYC. During the event, Curio will engage live with the broader NFT community and announce exciting new projects to the NFT world. <a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/nft-nyc-monday-knight-football-tickets-191328928977" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">RSVP HERE</a></p>

<p>Topps is one the most recognizable trading card companies in the world and Curio has partnered with them on one of their most iconic collections, <strong>Mars Attacks</strong>.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Topps released the original Mars Attacks <strong>trading card</strong> series in 1962 featuring illustrations by artists <strong>Wally Wood</strong> and <strong>Norman Saunders</strong>. The cards follow a science fiction plot of a Martian invasion of Earth with scenes of battles and attacks with humans and martians.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The series was both an instant classic for its timely depiction of fears around<strong> war and conflict</strong>, as well as controversial for its graphic images of combat. The iconic imagery has been immortalized in card rereleases, comics, film and <strong>popular culture</strong> for decades and is now recreated as collectable NFTs.</p>



<h2><strong>The next stratosphere of fandom</strong></h2>



<p>Curio recognizes and appreciates the appetite of diehard <strong>fandoms</strong> and <strong>communities</strong> in the NFT market and is always looking to expand and amplify. Curio seeks to onboarding the <strong>broader public</strong> as well as the crypto native community to journey to <a href="https://nonfungible.com/news/collectible/curio-unleashes-new-power-of-fandom-to-nfts" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the next stratosphere of fandom in the Metaverse</a>.</p>

Curio is going to the NFT.NYC this year! This will be the opportunity to connect with them during this big event. 

How Curio NFT is connecting with fans?


<p>This year more and more <strong>luxury brands</strong> are showing an interest in NFTs. We have seen <strong>Burberry </strong>create skins for the game <strong>Blankos</strong>, <strong>Karl Lagerfeld</strong> create figurines and <strong>Dolce &amp; Gabbana</strong> their own collection of NFTs.</p>



<p>We can also mention <strong>LVMH </strong>and other major brands that have partnered to develop their own blockchain. All these elements indicate a <strong>strong interest</strong> in the world of luxury towards NFTs.</p>



<p>In this context <a href="https://exclusible.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Exclusible</a> has decided to launch their <strong>own premium marketplace</strong> in order to offer digital luxury content. Who is the team behind this project and what are the next NFT drops that will take place exclusively on this platform?</p>

<h2>What is Exclusible ?</h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="453" height="543" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/10/what-is-exclusible.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-9005" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/10/what-is-exclusible.jpg 453w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/10/what-is-exclusible-250x300.jpg 250w" sizes="(max-width: 453px) 100vw, 453px" /></figure></div>



<p>Faced with an increasingly <strong>connected public</strong> presence on social networks, the world of luxury and fashion has had to reinvent the way it <strong>communices to new generations</strong>. Even more so since the successive global lockdowns.</p>



<p>What was yesterday a <strong>purely physical universe</strong> has today been forced to adapt and innovate to be able to continue to offer products in the <strong>virtual universe</strong>. This innovation is Exclusible who intends to bring us this new world through their <strong>exclusive partnerships</strong> and an easy-to-use premium marketplace.</p>



<p>From the launch of the project, Exclusible secured funding of $2.2M to ensure this <strong>dream becomes a reality</strong>. Within two months, the project was able to not only surround itself with <strong>renowned advisors</strong> from the world of fashion and luxury but also <strong>experts </strong>who also joined the team.</p>



<p>The world of luxury covers many areas, which is why Exclusible decided to focus on four segments: <strong>supercars</strong>, <strong>watches</strong>, <strong>fashion</strong>, and <strong>jewelry</strong>.</p>



<h2>Presenting the Exclusible Team</h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/10/exclusible-team.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-9006" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/10/exclusible-team.jpg 1024w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/10/exclusible-team-300x169.jpg 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/10/exclusible-team-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure></div>



<p>Exclusible&#8217;s current great strength lies in their team of experts who already know the secrets of fashion and luxury. Some advisors have joined their ranks but first, let&#8217;s take a closer look at who is in the <strong>core team</strong> of this project.</p>



<p><strong>The CEO : Thibault Launay</strong></p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="300" height="300" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/10/exclusible-thibault-launay.png" alt="" class="wp-image-9007" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/10/exclusible-thibault-launay.png 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/10/exclusible-thibault-launay-150x150.png 150w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></figure></div>



<p>Some know him under the hat of the investment fund<strong> NFT Blackpool</strong>, Thibault is also an advisor for the <strong>OVR project</strong>. But he is also a great collector of NFTs as well as a lover of <strong>vintage collection watches</strong>.</p>



<p><strong>The CCO : Olivier Moingeon</strong></p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="300" height="300" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/10/exclusible-olivier-moingeon.png" alt="" class="wp-image-9008" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/10/exclusible-olivier-moingeon.png 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/10/exclusible-olivier-moingeon-150x150.png 150w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></figure></div>



<p>Olivier holds a BA from <strong>GEM Business School</strong> and a Masters from <strong>Warwick University</strong> but his professional career is just as remarkable. Having worked for 18 years for luxury brands such as <strong>Cartier </strong>or <strong>Goyard</strong>, he also created &#8220;The luxury week&#8221; which reviews the trends of this universe.</p>



<p><strong>The CTO : Artur Goulão Ferreira</strong></p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="300" height="300" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/10/exclusible-artur-goulao-ferreira.png" alt="" class="wp-image-9010" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/10/exclusible-artur-goulao-ferreira.png 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/10/exclusible-artur-goulao-ferreira-150x150.png 150w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></figure></div>



<p>Founder and former CTO of <strong>Utrust</strong>, one of the largest crypto payment platforms, Arthur is above all an enthusiast of the blockchain and its ecosystem. He previously worked in several cybersecurity and fintech companies such as <strong>Easypay </strong>or <strong>Privus </strong>in Portugal.</p>



<p><strong>Other Exclusible’s team members:</strong></p>



<p>To complete this team of experts, several other<strong> members</strong> have joined the project:</p>



<ul><li><strong>Joana Rodrigues</strong>, designer with 12 years of experience, will take care of social networks and communication.</li><li><strong>Olivier Bureau</strong>, entrepreneur with 15 years of experience who is the Chief Digital Officer.</li><li><strong>Pierre Guigourese</strong>, Chief Product Officer, also invested in FingerprintsDAO. He advised Deloitte and KPMG for 8 years.</li><li><strong>Sara Teixeira</strong>, who is in charge of Content Marketing and Future Insights.

<h2>Tailored for future luxury brands drops</h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/10/exclusible-luxury-brands-1024x576.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-9011" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/10/exclusible-luxury-brands-1024x576.jpg 1024w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/10/exclusible-luxury-brands-300x169.jpg 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/10/exclusible-luxury-brands-768x432.jpg 768w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/10/exclusible-luxury-brands.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure></div>



<p>Exclusible&#8217;s mission is to help luxury companies promote their <strong>digital content</strong> to the next generation of web users.

<p>To ensure that the link is made, Exclusible offers several services to support luxury brands interested in the platform:</p>



<ul><li><strong>Creation and Design</strong>: with a dedicated graphic team, design needs will be covered by highly skilled professionals.</li><li><strong>Advisory and Utility</strong>: to be sure to have the NFT that meets specific needs.</li><li><strong>Distribution</strong>: A way to market NFTs to the biggest collectors.</li><li><strong>Marketplace</strong>: cornerstone of the project, it will be online by the end of 2021.</li></ul>



<p>The objective is to create the first NFT auction and exchange platform linked to the world of luxury. And for that, Exclusible first offers support solutions so that in the future, major brands can use their platform to promote products to a targeted audience.</p>

The world of fashion is increasingly interested in NFTs. Exclusible offer turnkey solutions to create a bridge between collectors and luxury brands.

Exclusible and the future of NFT Luxury


<p>You may have seen the <strong>Heavy Metal</strong> movie from 1981 (or the remake in 2000). Or maybe you’ve been collecting the cutting-edge science fiction, fantasy, and horror <strong>comics magazine</strong> going back to its first issue in 1977.</p>



<p>Regardless, this brand has a storied history and has been the source material for incredible movies such as <strong>Blade Runner</strong>, <strong>The 5th Element</strong>, and more.</p>



<p>Today, these famous titles are coming to the <strong>Curio NFT marketplace</strong> (see <a href="https://nonfungible.com/news/collectible/curio-unleashes-new-power-of-fandom-to-nfts" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">previous blog post</a>)</p>

Heavy Metal Releases First Collection of Magazine Covers as NFTs on Curio


<p>In May 2021 the sale of <a href="https://nonfungible.com/market-tracker/meebits" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Meebits</a> took place and we saw a strong influx of newcomers that followed after. This interest in collectibles grew very quickly with projects like <a href="https://nonfungible.com/market-tracker/veefriends" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">VeeFriends</a> and <a href="https://nonfungible.com/market-tracker/boredapeclub" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bored Ape Yacht Club</a> and many others..</p>



<p>An elegant design, an original look, some features were rarer than others with the beginning of July marked by the success of Bored Ape Yacht Club which was, for better or worse, quickly followed by a slew of &#8216;inspired by&#8217; projects.</p>



<p>It&#8217;s difficult to make an exhaustive list because that&#8217;s getting longer every day, but it&#8217;s not an understatement to say that today there&#8217;s <strong>a real zoo 3.0</strong> made up of the different <strong>animal species</strong> of the planet, also notably <strong>robots</strong>, <strong>aliens </strong>and other <strong>fantastic creatures</strong>.</p>



<p>Although we greatly appreciate the diversity and creativity induced by these new collectible projects, in recent weeks their multiplication has made us wonder if <strong>there was something hiding in the shadows</strong>.</p>



<h2><strong>The primary distribution of PFP Project</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="375" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/08/collectibles-profile-pictures-distribution-1-1024x375.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-5958" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/08/collectibles-profile-pictures-distribution-1-1024x375.jpg 1024w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/08/collectibles-profile-pictures-distribution-1-300x110.jpg 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/08/collectibles-profile-pictures-distribution-1-768x281.jpg 768w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/08/collectibles-profile-pictures-distribution-1.jpg 1275w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p>The big question is how the <strong>initial distribution</strong> of sales was made. Indeed, if the <strong>Whales </strong>have too many assets from the start, the distribution is biased and the market is therefore subject to <strong>their goodwill</strong>. In addition, there is a high probability that they will be sending transactions with very high gas fees, ensuring they can recover as many assets as possible&#8230; before you!</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="450" height="450" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/08/collectibles-profile-pictures-frogs-2.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-5976" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/08/collectibles-profile-pictures-frogs-2.jpg 450w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/08/collectibles-profile-pictures-frogs-2-300x300.jpg 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/08/collectibles-profile-pictures-frogs-2-150x150.jpg 150w" sizes="(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px" /><figcaption><em><a href="https://nonfungible.com/market-tracker/sadfrogsdistrict" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sad Frogs District</a></em></figcaption></figure></div>



<p>That&#8217;s why lately the gas costs are starting to become <strong>very high again</strong> on Ethereum&#8230; but these are not the only negative consequences. The following are a likely consequences of an <strong>unfair distribution scenario</strong>:</p>



<p><em>During a presale you manage to mint an NFT at the warning signal price of $100, after spending $150 in transaction fees. But you’re lucky, after unveiling its metadata, you discover you have a rare asset!</em></p>



<p><em>You look at the price of similar assets and put yours up for sale, a little above the floor price at $500. Only here, all the other assets are selling except yours. You do not want to miss this momentum, in addition there are offers of $250 that accumulate for your asset but this price is too low for you!</em><br><em>You give up the hope of realizing a x5 and lower your price a little.</em> </p>



<p><em>As soon as you put $500 as the sale price, your asset is bought within a minute! And in less time than it takes to congratulate yourself, this new buyer has put it back on sale at $1250 and worse few minutes later, it sells..</em> </p>



<p><em>You look at the floor price of &#8220;common&#8221; NFTs which has reached $750 and you say to yourself &#8220;I should have kept my rare NFT&#8221;.&nbsp;</em></p>



<p>The question that follows is: are you going to take the risk of buying a $750 NFT in <strong>the hope</strong> of selling it for more afterwards? Here you are in a situation of <strong>Fear Of Missing Out</strong> (FOMO) that can quite honestly ruin you..</p>



<p>The scenario above is quite possible if:</p>



<ul><li>A group coordinates to buy their own NFT among themselves but &#8220;boycott&#8221; those who are not part of the group&#8217;s portfolios.</li><li>The initial distribution is mainly acquired by this group.</li></ul>



<p>In this way they can obtain all the rare assets for <strong>very cheap</strong> and sell the common one at <strong>gold prices</strong> to the naïve who are influenced by the volumes of the markets that <strong>seem good</strong>.</p>



<h2><strong>What are the consequences on the NFT market?</strong></h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="452" height="535" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/08/collectibles-profile-pictures-potato-power-1.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-5963" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/08/collectibles-profile-pictures-potato-power-1.jpg 452w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/08/collectibles-profile-pictures-potato-power-1-253x300.jpg 253w" sizes="(max-width: 452px) 100vw, 452px" /></figure></div>



<p>Although the main consequence of this unequal distribution is a risk of <strong>market manipulation</strong>, this has revealed other problems.</p>



<p>The attraction of <strong>quick cash </strong>has attracted practices and behaviors that were previously quite rare in the ecosystem: total <strong>anonymity of the team</strong>, with <strong>Smart Contracts</strong> made public <strong>10 minutes before the Presale</strong> or an army of trolls that invade Discord servers to spam or broadcast FUD&#8230;</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="450" height="450" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/08/collectibles-profile-pictures-pickles-1.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-5964" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/08/collectibles-profile-pictures-pickles-1.jpg 450w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/08/collectibles-profile-pictures-pickles-1-300x300.jpg 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/08/collectibles-profile-pictures-pickles-1-150x150.jpg 150w" sizes="(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px" /><figcaption><em><a href="https://nonfungible.com/market-tracker/myfuckingpickle" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">My Fucking Pickle</a></em></figcaption></figure></div>



<p>It is possible to set in the smart contract <strong>a limit of mint per transaction</strong>. If this limit is ever abnormally high (100 or 200 for example), this can be considered as a <strong>warning signal</strong>.</p>



<p>Also, if  projects are listed on certain sites because they paid in order to announce their presale faster, this increases the likelihood of <strong>insider trading</strong> or <strong>conflict of interest</strong>.</p>



<p>Finally, another consequence of this unfair competition is the lack of lower gas prices for creatives who are wanting to try out minting NFTs.</p>



<p>This sends out an <strong>extremely negative signal</strong> from the ecosystem to see &#8220;low effort&#8221; projects being sold out in less than an hour while they themselves are still waiting for an order to make a personalized tailor-made portrait.</p>



<h2><strong>Are PFP collectibles a scam?</strong></h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="450" height="450" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/08/collectibles-profile-pictures-pinguin-1.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-5965" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/08/collectibles-profile-pictures-pinguin-1.jpg 450w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/08/collectibles-profile-pictures-pinguin-1-300x300.jpg 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/08/collectibles-profile-pictures-pinguin-1-150x150.jpg 150w" sizes="(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px" /><figcaption><a href="https://nonfungible.com/market-tracker/pudgypenguins" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><em>Pudgy Penguins</em></a></figcaption></figure></div>



<p>The segment of collectible NFTs is special because it is very similar to that of Art in the sense that <strong>their main usefulness is&#8230; to be collected.</strong> When purchasing one of these NFTs several elements must be taken into account:</p>



<ul><li>Decentralized Metadata</li><li>Decentralized Image</li><li>Artists&#8217; Reputation</li><li>Reputation of the Team</li><li>Rarity of Attributes</li><li>Another Utility (video games, privileges, access to a club&#8230;)</li></ul>



<p>It is therefore important to understand that by purchasing NFTs whose sole function is to serve as a collector&#8217;s item, will confer a sense of <strong>belonging to a group or community</strong> but there is absolutely no guarantee of getting back the money spent.</p>



<p>Regarding the &#8220;generative&#8221; collectibles of different animals or fantastic species, having a rarer NFT than the others will give a<strong> more important social status</strong> within the community but generally, that&#8217;s where it stops.</p>



<p>If the collector&#8217;s item is <strong>sufficiently decentralized</strong>, it will be kept in your wallet for years and years, thus constituting an imperishable memory and <strong>defining part of your digital identity</strong>.</p>



<p>It is therefore important to distinguish between Collectible projects that are in danger of <strong>disappearing overnight</strong> and those that really want to develop a project in the mid-long term, even if the main ambition is above all <strong>to have fun</strong>.</p>



<p>It&#8217;s up to you to choose if you like the graphic design of a project and to check that maximum of its data is decentralized so as not to fall victim to a scam!</p>



<p><strong>Stay curious and especially sharing, there is still a lot of room for the NFTs ecosystem to grow!</strong></p>


After the success of Bored Ape Yacht Club, a lot of collectibles projects including apes, dogs, rats or aliens popped on our radar. Let’s take a closer look at this new Profile Picture hype!

Collectibles, Generative Profile Pictures and FOMO


<p>For humankind, individuality has always had its value. These days there are many ways to <strong>stand out from the crowd,</strong> one of the primary ways is with clothing and accessories. From wild self-expression, following trends, avant-garde or pure simplicity, everyone can adopt a style that best represents them. Among the everyday accessories that speak volumes about a person&#8217;s identity, <strong>the watch</strong> has long been an essential object.</p>



<p>Responding to an increasingly connected society, the <strong>Apple Watch</strong> was released in 2014, marking the first step in a rapidly growing market.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Connected watches enable you to check notifications, answer calls, monitor your heart rate or count your steps. One of <strong>Apple&#8217;s </strong>great strengths has always been in their product design, and they used this to take their connected watches to the next level as <strong>luxury accessories</strong> including using gold for manufacturing and <strong>bracelets </strong>signed by <strong>Hermes</strong>.</p>



<p>Last year the world of luxury watches saw companies like <strong>Breitling</strong> take several steps forward into the world of <strong>NFTs</strong>, particularly in regards to the traceability and authentication of their manufactured watch parts.&nbsp;</p>



<p><a href="https://cryptowatches.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Crypto Watches</a> have taken this new concept one step further, offering individual customization of their connected watch interfaces through the use of NFTs. So, how will Non-Fungible Tokens be used and what makes Crypto Watches of particular interest?</p>



<h2><strong>Presentation of Crypto Watches </strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Crypto Watches" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/soPE3wI5giU?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div></figure>



<p>Crypto Watches is part of a larger project headed by Watch Skins. While Crypto Watches is the name of the <strong>luxury NFT brand</strong>, <strong>Watch Skins</strong> is the marketplace and app where you can exchange, configure and customize your Crypto Watches.</p>



<p>The Watch Skins <strong>NFT wearables app</strong> creates a link between your connected watch and smartphone, and uses Non-Fungible Tokens in an innovative and original way. Indeed, until now there have been NFTs for games, art, virtual worlds and even domain names, but the Wearables and Internet of Things sectors have been so far relatively unexplored.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="500" height="419" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/07/crypto-watches-release.jpg" alt="crypto watches release" class="wp-image-5098" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/07/crypto-watches-release.jpg 500w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/07/crypto-watches-release-300x251.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /></figure></div>



<p>With connected watches becoming increasingly widespread over recent years, it’s a natural move for the Watch Skins team, who are now offering <strong>several customizable interface</strong> <strong>collections.&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p>Crypto Watches is distinguished by the team&#8217;s desire to propel the rarity of a luxury accessory to the next level, and represents the first licensed brand on the Watch Skins platform.</p>



<p>This move caught the eye of <strong>The Brand Liaison</strong> who Watch Skins has partnered with, opening the door to negotiate onboarding other brands to this new application.</p>



<h2><strong>The first wearable NFT</strong></h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="1400" height="787" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/07/cryptowatches-wearable.jpg" alt="cryptowatches wearable" class="wp-image-5099" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/07/cryptowatches-wearable.jpg 1400w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/07/cryptowatches-wearable-300x169.jpg 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/07/cryptowatches-wearable-1024x576.jpg 1024w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/07/cryptowatches-wearable-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px" /></figure></div>



<p>One of the greatest strengths of the project lies in its ability to offer <strong>great freedom to its creators</strong>. Here are some of the features announced in their Whitepaper:</p>



<ul><li><strong>Changing face color</strong> and pattern, watch hands or number styles.</li><li><strong>Customizing background</strong> images and “stickers.”</li><li><strong>Template customization</strong> for different types of Watch Skins, for example, different custom templates that come with a collection.</li><li><strong>Licensed Content</strong> and licensed content customization.</li><li>Built-in <strong>wallet</strong> functions for managing all NFTs.</li></ul>



<p>Thanks to an <strong>integrated in-app</strong> <strong>wallet</strong>, the interaction with the blockchain is almost invisible to the end user.</p>



<p>Another interesting aspect is the ability to be able to sell and auction your watches to other app users from your <strong>Collection</strong>, there&#8217;s a whole community aspect that can develop between collectors.</p>



<p>Much more than just a smartwatch design app, Crypto Watches allows you to create an intimate, connected and humanly decentralized universe.</p>



<h2><strong>Several Collections</strong></h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="940" height="528" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/07/cryptowatches-collection.jpg" alt="cryptowatches collection" class="wp-image-5097" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/07/cryptowatches-collection.jpg 940w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/07/cryptowatches-collection-300x169.jpg 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/07/cryptowatches-collection-768x431.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px" /></figure></div>



<p>The different creations available in the application will belong to unique collections. Each collection will offer a limited number of pieces and come with the additional freedom of to create a one-of-a-kind customized face, completely tailored to the purchaser&#8217;s own personal style.</p>



<p>The first of these, the &#8220;Gotham&#8221; collection is scheduled to drop <strong>July 15th at 9 AM PST, </strong>and is limited to only 5,000 pieces.</p>



<p>Although this first collection is delivered by the Crypto Watches team themselves, future collections will be <strong>licensed partner brands</strong>. In addition to these well known brands, Watch Skins will also be working with internationally renowned artists to create exclusive designs!</p>



<p>And let&#8217;s not forget the key features of the blockchain: the <strong>information </strong>displayed in the app regarding the authenticity and provenance of the skin <strong>can be verified</strong> because it is publicly accessible on Ethereum..</p>



<h2><strong>Conclusion</strong></h2>



<p>Watch Skins allows users to interact with the blockchain without even realizing it, and Crypto Watches speak directly to the world of luxury by offering a high-end product.</p>



<p>In a future article, we will dive deeper into the team&#8217;s related project, Watch Skins, the marketplace that allows you to buy and resell your NFTs, creating a secondary market that is directly accessible from the app.</p>



<p>With this new type of NFT combining a digital license, creativity and a connection with the real world, Crypto Watches is entering a market that has yet to be explored in the crypto ecosystem. If we take into account the tendency of luxury brands to take a close interest in NFTs, Crypto Watches could be one of the first applications to release a tool of this kind with the sky being the limit in possibilities.</p>

Among the many diverse and innovative use cases for NFTs in the real world, one aspect that has so far been very little explored is the area of connected smart watches and their digital skins. Crypto Watches has recognised this opportunity and their digital watch skins are indeed, Non-FungibleTokens.

The future of wearable NFTs with Crypto Watches


<p>With the increased ease of being able to access NFTs as well as increasingly accessible user interfaces, the number of use cases for NFTs is multiplying. Among the as of yet, little adopted use cases that show great potential are <strong>NFTs in marketing.</strong></p>



<p>In recent years there have been several experiments within the marketing space but at that time the different projects were more experiments intended to try out what was possible to do with the blockchain rather than a <strong>real value proposition</strong> for marketing.</p>



<p>Today, <a href="https://millionpieces.io/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Millionpieces.io</a> is attempting to broaden the frontier of possibilities by taking an idea already used in the early days of the internet and <strong>combining it with NFT potential</strong>.</p>



<h2><strong>Presentation</strong></h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="459" height="600" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/07/millionpieces-country.jpg" alt="millionpieces country" class="wp-image-5773" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/07/millionpieces-country.jpg 459w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/07/millionpieces-country-230x300.jpg 230w" sizes="(max-width: 459px) 100vw, 459px" /></figure></div>



<p>The Millionpieces.io project was launched in April 2021 but as seen above, the concept dates back to the beginning of the 2000s when it was possible to buy pixels from a grid on a site and put it online as an <strong>advertising insert</strong>.</p>



<p>At this time, several difficulties arose, particularly regarding <strong>the veracity of information</strong> that could appear in these advertising inserts but these old difficulties can now be solved with NFTs!</p>



<p>To achieve this, Millionpieces.io decided not to re-enter the market with a simple website offering advertising rectangles but rather <strong>a layer over the entire world map</strong>, divided into 10,000 individual segments. These 10,000 segments were then broken down into 10,000 to obtain 1 million available slots.</p>



<p>You guessed it, <strong>these million slots are NFTs</strong> that will be available for purchase during a presale that will take place on June 5, 2021.</p>



<h2><strong>Advertising on the entire planet</strong></h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="896" height="505" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/07/millionpieces-world-in-piece.gif" alt="millionpieces world in pieces" class="wp-image-5775"/></figure></div>



<p>To be able to acquire this <strong>new customizable</strong> <strong>space</strong> visible to the whole world, some information will be important to remember! The most important is to know that the project takes place in two phases:</p>



<ul><li><strong>Phase 1</strong> is the pre-sale of these million available spaces. Priced at 0.1 ETH per plot, once the sale is complete, this whole new custom world will be called &#8220;World in pieces&#8221;</li><li><strong>Phase 2</strong> will begin with a <a href="https://millionpieces.gitbook.io/millionpieces/piece-token/token-specs-and-distribution" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">1 million $PIECE airdrop</a>, the project’s fungible token. Its purpose is to allow you to access artistic NFT drops in future that will not be possible to acquire without $PIECE</li></ul>



<p>So, how will this breakdown be carried out?&nbsp; It&#8217;s a collection of 10,000 NFT&#8217;s of <strong>163 Country</strong> NFT&#8217;s and <strong>20 City</strong> NFTs. As countries and cities do not all have the same area, some of them therefore will have fewer available plots.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="500" height="439" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/07/millionpieces-social-media.jpg" alt="millionpieces social media" class="wp-image-5774" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/07/millionpieces-social-media.jpg 500w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/07/millionpieces-social-media-300x263.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /></figure></div>



<p>Even if the initial price is the same for all the locations, not all will have the same value in the future&#8230; Moreover, it is possible to add links to <strong>social networks</strong> as well as a link to any website. Another element to consider is the possibility of merging these locations into a larger one in order to be even more visible to the world.</p>



<h2><strong>Conclusion</strong></h2>



<p>There is no doubt that initiatives to promote a project in a decentralized manner and with global visibility, accessible by anyone with a crypto wallet, will continue to emerge in the future.</p>



<p>The initiative led by Millionpieces.io is therefore part of a larger scheme that will interest brands but will also perhaps participate in the emergence of artists or new projects that will want this kind of visibility.</p>



<p>For the majority of use cases for Non-Fungible Tokens most are still very young but the application of NFTs within Marketing is still in its infancy. <strong>So we can&#8217;t wait to see how this new promotional method will evolve!</strong></p>

When it comes to promotion, NFTs can be a very convenient way for brands and projects to get noticed. Millionpieces.io wants to put in place a whole system to achieve this.

Advertising with a million NFTs


<p>In the first quarter of 2021 NFT (non-fungible token) sales <strong>topped over $2 billion</strong> with a market cap that increased by 1,785%. There is no doubt the explosive demand for NFTs has sparked the curiosity of fans eager to participate in the frenzy for a chance to own early digital collectables from their favorite artists and brands.</p>



<p>The only issue is that the general population has yet to bridge into the crypto space due multiple factors including the friction point of setting up a crypto wallet.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Enter <a href="https://curionft.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Curio,</a> an emerging <strong>digital collectibles and experience platform</strong> that delivers a fiat gateway for the general public as well as a crypto native access point via <strong>MetaMask</strong>.</p>



<p>Curio&#8217;s mission is to <strong>leverage the power of blockchain</strong> to connect fans to the artists, characters, and stories we know and love. By paving an <strong>accessible pathway</strong> for true collectors and worldwide fans to play in the NFT space, Curio’s platform also establishes a reliable landing for household brands looking to enter the NFT market.</p>



<h2>Presentation of CurioNFT&nbsp;</h2>



<p>Built on the belief that NFTs serve as a new mechanism of storytelling, Curio enables creators, studios, and celebrities to <strong>share innovative content with fan-centric communities</strong> by providing a new channel to summon, engage, share, and reward the most beloved of fans. The adoption of Curio’s platform also ushers in the opportunity for brands and studios to <strong>redefine what owning collectibles or tokens mean in 2021</strong> and beyond.<br><br><strong>Fremantle</strong> productions is one of those brands that has welcomed the use of Curio’s platform. Curio partnered with Fremantle productions to drop a series of NFTs for the&nbsp; TV Show, <strong>American Gods</strong>, originally created by the epic British author <strong>Neil Gaiman</strong> and produced by Fremantle productions. Their first drop, which went live in Feb 2021, sold out in a matter of 65 minutes. American Gods have a wildly engaged and rabid fanbase: </p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote"><p>“Curio made it easy for us to engage with our fans in a meaningful and modern way, by creating a variety of digital experiences and collectibles for American Gods Season 3. Now <strong>fans</strong> of the show <strong>can share and interact with the content and characters they love.”&nbsp;</strong></p></blockquote>

<p>With passionate fans, Curio plans to offer different experiences to holders of officially licenced NFTs. They are working with Fremantle directly to identify how holders of NFTs can access creatives from the show to provide utility along with value.<br><br>Curio has announced partnerships with several other notable names in the entertainment industry including <strong>Dark Horse Comics, Heavy Metal Magazine</strong>, and <strong>Universal Pictures</strong>. On the horizon, Curio shared they have NFTs coming from artists, films, record labels, and one of the largest trading card companies in the world.</p>
